And yet, despite the fact that "under the law" it is now technically illegal for whites to continue discriminating on the basis of race in housing, employment, education, policing, banking, etc., as they've always done in the past, EVERY major city in America is,
Nothing technical about it. It is illegal. And you make it sound like every major city in America has always been racist against blacks "they have always done in the past". These are the sorts of absolutes that make things silly. Majority, or greater majority? Absolutely.
nonetheless, somehow still de facto segregated along the same historical racial lines anyway. (As is easily shown on color-coded demographic maps.)
You do realize what demographics are, right? And even countries with majority black populations in Africa, or ones where they are less than 1% (like China) have demographics right? And when making maps, color coding can be valuable... You want color coded religious maps? Wtf does this have to do with systemic racism? Are colors on a map racist to you? If you want to understand why many people don't like SJWs, this is one of the big reasons why. By making so many things racist, you are actually diluting the value of real racism. You know, the bad kind we need to stand against.
And even though this pattern is widespread throughout America biggest cities (and a strikingly close approximation of what segregation patterns have always looked like), it's, nonetheless, not systemic?
Segregation? Tell me, is any black person barred from moving to any city, or any district in any city - in any place in the United States? Heck, people move where they want. That is why whites are no longer the majority population in places like California. In case you didn't know. I don't think you understand what segregation is. Well, I suppose I am happy you at least stand against segregation. Many of the SJWs have been advocating for 'safe spaces' lately, and black only areas. The solution to racism, and the progression of enlightenment of the movement that had great leaders like MLK? Lets bring segregation back. Nope. I am happy we agree here.
And even though it's been shown in countless studies that blacks are both arrested more (for approx. equal drug use) and sentenced longer when convicted for equal drug crimes, it's not systemic? Or, police encounters resulting in statistically higher citation rates for blacks, it's not systemic? Or black children as young a 5 being consistently disciplined and expelled at much higher rates, it's not systemic?
You seem to attribute that exclusively to the white racist police officers arresting the black people more. So silly. Yet you don't take into consideration money, poverty, fatherless households, dropping out of school more - etc to higher crime rates. That effect blacks more often - leading to more arrest. I am not ignorant like some of the people who say well the blacks are naturally more criminal. No, they are a victim to their circumstances, because they need to address their cultural problems. Like, more families with fathers. You will see crime rates drop when the culture problem is fixed.
You seem to want to blame everything on some mythical 'systemic racism' though. Even though that would mean the majority of everyone is collectively racist, so as to actually have the power to make and enforce such a racist system. But then these people can't get their acts together for trivial stuff. Like voting for black leaders...
Most people aren't racist. Most of the people in power are not racist. The system brought on by them is actually against racism where it stands for the most part. So that actually destroys any notion of it being 'systemic racism'
Or, our current headlines involving environmental poisoning consistently happening in predominantly black areas, but it's not systemic?
Oh, you mean environmental problems that are caused by greed and avarice? You know, like the fracking that has gone in the mid west a bunch. You know, that many white communities are very upset with? Want me to give you a whole list? Again, not systemic racism. Let alone basic racism.
Or, average net worth being 22 times less for blacks than whites, but it's not systemic.
See above for answers. On top of facts above those from circumstances, wealth stored up (yet still not oppressing others or keeping them back), possible genetic differences (again, everyone should be individually judged, and this is not me being a Nazi - so cool it in advance. Even if you could prove some people were in fact having 100% retard genes, I don't support harming or exploiting all the retards. Only racist, bigoted, hateful morons do. All I do is acknowledge that people are different, and groups of people separated by nature probably have different genes on average. ). There are dozens of reasons for this really. So again, no racism I see here.
Or minorities disproportionately being the targeted victims of the recent sub-prime lending scandal, but it's not systemic
Again, it was a scandal lending out homes to those who couldn't afford it. Thus more poor people, and thus - as you mentioned before who has on average money to actually afford it? Gee... I wonder why the minorities were disproportionately targeted. By your logic. It must be racism! But a rational person, would see otherwise.
Or, the percentage of America's prison population that is disproportionately black, but it's not systemic?
See one of the responses above about the criminal activity. More or less the same thing. Not racism, again.
Or, the relative percentage of blacks living below the poverty level, in the richest nation that has ever existed on Earth, but it's not systemic
I get it, can we please stop going over the same points? Not racism, see above. By the same reasons of the "22 times more less".
And last, but not least, the largest cities in America (as in NY, LA, Chicago, etc.) consistently flirting with financial insolvency as a result of paying out hundreds of millions of dollars in death and injury settlements to the families of minorities that they've unjustly killed or very badly injured in discriminatory ways, but it's not systemic?
See above, but I always wanted to point out an interesting oddity you may not know. While you may see it as cops shooting black people more - it is actually statistically the opposite. Compared to how many arrest they have for black people, it is less. If just looking at the amount of arrest and likelihood of being shot by race, white people are more likely to die in the confrontation with the cops. But they don't tend to get into trouble with the police as much as the cops on average, so thus it gives you the impression that they do. A faulty impression. Just an odd fact I figured you may not know.
So I went through your entire paragraph, and have yet to see systemic racism. Just someone like you who is going to see anything that on the surface doesn't have equity, at least one where the minority is worse off - and cry racism.
It's about "equal justice under the law". And any rational human would admit that these examples (and hundreds of others too) show that this is still not even close to the just system that ANOTHER Civil Rights Act supposedly guaranteed we were finally going to get in 1964. But the real truth is, it was never actually intended to work that way, in the first place. Because from it's very inception, the political construct known as white supremacy was designed to specifically benefit white, landowning, Protestant, males very intentionally at the expense of all others. And it's still doing a variation of that exact same thing 350 years later.
You mean in 1964 when they actually did get equal rights under the law? Do you now want to argue for unequal rights supporting black people under the law now? On the fact that whites always oppress blacks, and we should all be held accountable by the actions of our ancestors - which we can never pay up to enough? Even the whites who just immigrated 10 years ago? Just to make up for the imbalances that other issues have created?
There are real problems that need to be addressed. But top down systemic racism is not the cause of them.
You realize a great number, if not perhaps majority of white people probably have ancestors who came after 350 years ago right? Is there every going to be a point in which issues in the past are ever moved passed? Or is it always the majority now to perpetually make itself right with the minority, because you know - what their fathers did to them. Ignorance.
And the seemingly neverending examples above continue to prove it. The system's not broken. It's still doing more or less exactly what it was originally designed to do in the 1600's. Keep white males perpetually at the top of the American social order, to the maximum extent possible, and for as long as conceivably possible. To continue pretending not to see the 400-year-old system still very much at work in the countless examples, like those above, is moral corruption of the highest order.
Except, it is readily available to anyone with eyes that the system of racism that existed all those years ago - simply does not exist. And no one is supporting it. There is no conspiracy to keep whites in power. I almost feel like I need to get my tin foil hat on about now...
It is most definitely still systemic! Because most of the statutes for addressing discrimination and segregation, within the most recent Civil Rights Act, are simply being very carefully maneuvered around or quietly altered (like the Voting Rights Act, for example).
And now I definitely need it. Those white people, who secretly move powers around in their conspiracy to oppress the minorities and rule the world... Is this even a falsifiable claim to you? Because when arguing against people who say the same things about the Illuminati for instance, those examples you give them that go against the narrative are just shills to deceive people. Just tell me this. Do you at least have a more specific group of white people who are supposedly involved in this conspiracy?
But the 90-plus percent demographic majority that's been needed to sustain such immoral maneuvering, by sheer brute force, is dwindling rapidly. White racism and bigotry are far from dead (as primarily evidenced by the de facto segregation that still greatly exist throughout America). But it's actually the rapidly dwindling demographic numbers needed to sustain the corrupt underlying system that are, as you said it, on life support. (Does the phrase, "Take America Back", mean anything to you?) After that, it starts to get real interesting!
You are right, white racism and bigotry are not dead. Racism in general, even black racism is far from dead. In fact, I fear both of them are growing leaps and bounds, because of racist nonsense the SJWs are spouting that keep adding racial tension to the mix. On things not involving race. But that doesn't mean it is the dominant view. It is but an afterthought of what it was 70 years+ ago.
The demographics have nothing to do with this though. Because I keep seeing racism in just about every race in America these days. It for sure isn't an exclusively white thing. So by having whites only having small families anymore, and thus losing much of the demographics - it isn't the cause for the reason of the fall of racism.
