Fine, racism exists everywhere because a white guy claims it does, despite his contradicting claims that whites have no idea about racism and can hence not understand racism. But it exists everywhere.lol. You guys are a funny bunch.
I remembered you mentioned before a little of your NOLA background so I'd don't question your authenticity. I started to write further, again, a little of my NYC background but it isn't about each of our stories. IMO there is no doubt racism is "alive and well" in America. And just like Jesus supposedly says in the bible about the poor - it will always be with us. But white/black is not the real issue, it is green. Whites predominate holding the most green. And many of us don't want to give up any except in the form handouts. Just the way it is.
Where is your proclaimed racism? You keep on insisting it exists but never bothered to name a few examples about the rampant racism you speak thereof. But glad you qualified your statement with "IMO". That is exactly true, in your opinion. What's your point posting here at all then if it just exists in your head. If you were interested in exploring solutions to actual problems you would surely be able to name a few examples of the problem. But you don't.
It's systemic. If you're black, you're likelier to be born into poverty. If you're born into poverty you're likelier to go to underfunded schools. If you go to underfunded schools, you're likelier to get shittier education on nutrition, health, and sex education. If you went to an underfunded school, you're likelier to not get a higher education. If you didn't get a higher education, you're likelier to get a shit paying job. If you got a shit paying job you're likelier to buy high caloric, cheap foods exacerbating your shitty education on nutrition and not have time to hit the gym to stay healthy. If you can afford shitty healthcare w/your shit paying job, you're likelier to get hit w/pre-existing conditions from your shitty choices from your shitty education from shitty systemic racism. And if you managed to stay healthy, you're likelier to get shot at a traffic stop from racist cops. Now back from the derail the triggered can't help from taking this topic to: Luckily, we've now identified racism as a serious threat to public health.
$40Trillion in welfare says what? Can we just stop it then? Clearly it doesn’t work. Maybe all the government needs to reward 2 parent households rather than incentivizing single motherhood. That would solve a huge part of the poverty issue. Racism isn’t a threat to public health. Stupid people are the biggest threat to their own health.
So at long last you are at least being honest. You want everyone to be equally well off. Start and we all follow. Until then STFU. You pretend as if there are no other factors at play, only people who were born into poverty. What are you gonna do to the whites who were born into poverty? Leave them on the street? You make zero sense. Truth is that you have no clue about what racism is. How come Asians do fantastically well? African Americans don't. Being born into money and a healthy family and getting good education starts a lot earlier than at child birth. It's a cultural and generational issue. Asians were racially discriminated in the past yet they got up worked hard and made it. Why do African Americans at large don't accomplish the same? Cultural differences no other reason. Certainly not racism. By the way how many blacks have been shot last year by cops who shot without cause?
settle down, don't forget to breathe, and rewrite that mess as it's impossible to follow. You're all over the place and seemed to have been triggered.
