    So you’re saying that not only are these companies racist, but they’re hypocrites?

    Below is the list of companies that support BLM, but according to fiddlerdave’s link they’re all racist. Notice the size of some of these companies.

    Yes, virtue signaling sells their wares.
    In a few months it will be another trendy cause though.

    No, they give a high hat and a crash. Or should I say they sell a high hat and a crash? Lol. This lockdown in AZ is making me go bonkers.

    Thank God for this forum or most of you would be watching me on the news. I would love to share a cell with Tsarnaev for a couple hours. That messy haired punk would know what castration is all about.

    But the problem is that people believe there is "systemic" racism where there is none. There are individual racists. Government, media and society can't fix that. It is a personal position. In other words there isn't anything we can do about racism because it isn't systemic. It is about people, not systems. We can only wait until time heals it.

    Systematic means organized and structured. Who is doing the organizing? Who are the people involved in this criminal conspiracy? If it’s systematic, there must be evidence of the existence of a group of people whose goals are to discriminate and oppress. Any ledgers, rosters, yearbooks, anything to prove this vast right wing conspiracy?

    This post uses “systematic,” which is different than systemic. Both terms are used by leftists. Systemic means on the whole, as opposed to only a part of something. Either term is a inaccurate to describe any institution in the US, especially police departments.

    So fourteen people out of millions, will give anecdotal evidence of 'racism' and we are supposed to take that seriously when the first example given is a statistical anomaly like a 'gender nonconforming queer'? Wow...

    Or when we end racist policies like Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity policies that completely contradict any notion of equality...

    You want to talk to people who have had a huge racism problem? Talk to white who attended a primarily black inner city high school.

    I get so sick of people acting like only non-whites experience racism.

    If there was equality AA would have never been created, besides that white women are the biggest beneficiaries of AA which means so are white men.

    Whoa there gender bender, in the real world, men and women are different. White straight men are the only unprotected group in America. We just want equality, nothing special, odd how those who claim to also want equality are the ones clinging to racist policies...

    There is only 1 race, the human race.
    Aren't most all people in China considered Asians? If one calls Asian a race, the are one of the most uniform?
    But have many different cultures in that vast landscape.

    Laws don't change peoples minds the instant a law takes effect.
    Only makes caught actions illegal and punishable.

    Programs don't change people's minds instantaneously.
    That takes generational changes. 3 generations at a minimum. IMO.

    Actually, there is systemic racism. American institutions were developed by White people for White people and are staffed by White people who have the following White characteristics:

    - self reliance, independence and autonomy
    - objective rational and linear thinking
    - hard work
    - respect for authority
    - delayed gratification
    - punctuality

    In order to eliminate systemic racism we must reimagine present institutions so that they do not rely on these characteristics.

    Well, the bearings on my Atomlab Pimplite rear 26 inch disc brake mountainbike wheel are finally going out after ten years of steady use. A steady knocking every time I pedal, I blame racism. Replacement bearings are 40$ and on backorder, it's because I'm white, I know it is!

    No, it just shows that I am honest.
    The only people who don't see skin color are blind folks.
    The issue isn't whether or not you see skin color. The issue is not allowing a person's skin color to effect how you treat them.

    Who the hell said they weren't? The meaning is if white women are benefitting then so are their white husbands, got it now gender bender.

    That is the group that takes advantage of everyone else.

    You have never wanted equality, you wanted to stay in that privileged class. Just look at your president and that tell you all you want to know.

    Not per capita, since you love to use that.
