now I'm not so sure about that one Trav. I also do not support affirmative action programs, but I acknowledge that some forms of systemic racism still exist. For instance, how do you respond to the study that found that when searching for a job, people with stereotypical black sounding names received calls back at a significantly lower rate that their equally qualified non-black named counterparts? Does that not constitute some form of systemic racism?

No

Because the names were associated with poverty not race

We know this because other traditionally black surnames like Jefferson and Washington were not impacted

And even if none of that was true you still only have a disparity

That racial disparity alone doesn’t prove the reason for the disparity is racism

well, I'm going to have to take a look at the specifics of the study. If what you are saying is true, then I should expect that the "black sounding" names identified should have equal prevalence in the poor white communities and the poor black communities.

That is true that it wouldn't prove it conclusively, but you cannot argue that it would be strong evidence in favor

Not necessarily equal, proportional to the amount of each race below and above the poverty line

racism would be hard to isolate and prove with an exact level of precision, because at the end of the day you can only measure what people do, not why they did it or what was going on in their heads

Also note: black individuals in America are the richest of any group of black people in the world

yes, what I mean is I would expect a random white person in poverty if drawn out of a hat to be just as a likely as a random black person in poverty of having the "black sounding" name

I’d put my money into he dies if u picked a poor or tube sounding name associated with Whit epeople you might get a similar result

What?

No I’m saying the study might not have been measuring what it thought it was measuring

It might have been measuring classism more than racism
