my friends father, who is of african desent was arrested and held in jail for three days

For what?

for biking through and empty light, no pedestrian, on the bike lane

that's the event that kind of proved it to me

That's something you should bring up with your local officials and not assume it applies to the vast majority of the United States.

You can take legal action against someone for something like that

It's not part of police protocol to arrest someone for 3 days for a biking accident

And how do you know something like that hasn't happened to a white person before hmm?

that is an example, racsim is a problem, no matter the sevarity, and that is why i do not think that acrticle is far fecthed

As for disproportionate minority deaths, there are plenty of disparities between races that cause that as opposed to "racism."

not enough

There are a lot.

Yeah, racism is just our natural instinct to defend ourselves against the other tribe. I think?

Such as the places where this is happening are democrat run cities..... Where there are large numbers of african american's with the worst lockdowns and worst plans against covid

Causing that "stat"

but how does that excuse all the minor racist comments and acts, they ar3e not all criminal! (I know you didn't really suggest that)

@little hollow hhmmm, really, or just and underserving of a given commutintie?

because democrats don't use their money conservatively, I see

Spending it on "diversity training" that causes more racial division in our country

argueable, yes

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 300 pages of emails of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, including his approval of a press release supportive of China’s response to the 2019 novel coronavirus. https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/dcnf-v-hhs-production-oct-2020-01149/

but still

i think the report is valid

> Spending it on "diversity training" that causes more racial division in our country
@little hollow And on "equity, diversity, inclusion" propaganda BS

Economic conditions in addition to the fact that there are more minorities in cities are enough to justify the difference.

> @little hollow And on "equity, diversity, inclusion" propaganda BS
@LuckyPuffy indeed

they teaching is in the right spirit but they go about it in the wrong manner

I'll actually have to agree with chaz here a bit.

Nah man. Any person that truly believes someone is different because of skin color is dumb. Any body trying to teach someone that they are inherently racist because they are white, are also racist.

Culture is the difference that needs to be acknowledged

I've never noticed race ever in my life until it's brought up or to discuss disproportions.

@LuckyPuffy Funny you say that bc my school is starting focus groups tomorrow and I'm volunteering for it just to see it.... and possibly get a $100 visa gift card

The best way to teach divirsity acceptance is to state the idea of race is a socail construct and rise above it. we must relise that this social contruct has lead to much suffering and we cannot discredit those expierences, so lets work together to stand against an atiquated an perverse idea

Or, here's an idea; we just ignore race. Very simple.

No

@DarkSkyKEC yeah, but some people suffer from the social construct that is race

Nobody here discredits the experiences that racism causes.

@SPRTNWRRYR1974 yeah, but we gotta deal with the repercustions of old ideas

However, most people in the U.S. are not racist today.

yep
