Now that racism has been outlawed in business, and racists have been driven from the public square, you don’t witness much racism in America. Being racist is a bad move socially and career-wise. That’s good.
But black achievement in America still lags badly behind white, Asian and Hispanic achievement. The black illegitimacy rate is triple the white rate and the black murder rate is 7x the white rate. Both figures are worse than before affirmative action, worse than before the Great Society programs of the 60s and 70s, and even worse than the days of Jim Crow laws.
I disagree. Racism is extremely lucrative for both blacks and Democrats.

Good old Glenn Beaton, making the same mistake all the conservatives make as he brings the Knife of Reason to the Gunfight of Emotion.

If you refuse to participate in your own education, make babies when you are 14, hang with people who carry guns, sell and or use drugs, steal other people's property, drink too much, unable to speak or write correct English, believe that living on welfare is just another life choice, think that it is okay to shoot at the police but they should not be able to return fire, that you really are too stupid to secure an ID, and on and on. If you believe the above you WILL NOT live a good life no matter what color you are, what your gender is. I am sick of these whiny ass people playing the racism/victim card. The biggest problem you have is YOU.

Alternatively, if everyone is racist, there's a reason.

Racism now basically means "stop telling people of color how they can achieve independence and self-reliance." Stop telling people of color what to do! It doesn't matter if what they are doing is destructive and hateful, we need to just sit down and wait for them to finish like good little deplorables waiting for the Reavers to satiate themselves.

Hmmmm, so maybe giving certain races everything without the need on their part to put forth any sort of effort to maintain life isn't such a hot idea?
We should have learned that lesson by observing the decline of Native Americans in falling into all manner of addictions and other mental health issues over many decades of being supported by a guilty government. Perhaps blacks are "suddenly" going cra-cra all over the country for the very same reason? Esteemed psychologists and psychiatrists, please weigh in.

Every part of the “system” - the government, the media, entertainment, education, etc are all run by demonrats. So, if there is systemic racism, just who is to blame?

People are getting sick and tired of listening to this garbage so let's cut through all the B.S. and tell it like it is. The biggest racists and bigots are the ones who are constantly preaching about it. Those are the hypocrite democratic marxists and about 70% of the black population. What is common talk today was rarely heard of before the king of racism was elected, Barack Hussein Obama. Got it yet...

The instinctive reaction to being accused of being a racist is to deny it. I never do. Yes, I am. And so are you. Have you ever had a derogatory thought about someone's race, maybe even called them a name or used a slur, even under your breath or with that voice in your head? If you tell me no, I'll call you a liar. People need to stop running from "racism".

The only thing black 'achievements ' exceed everyone else is in violent crime and physically hurting other people. If they fail in things like education, culture, social achievement, Business leadership and job creation then it is their business. But violent crime has other people who are victims.

There's only ONE race....the HUMAN race.
Do we have to like everybody? If we don't ,is it proper to call us names?
What's worse, the fact that I don't like someone's behavior?
Or that the tattlers will label me with some derogatory "ism"?
Racist Sexist Homophobe Xenophobe Militarist Jingoist Bla bla bla
Only liberals call other adults these names because they're mentally disturbed.
The entire cancel culture is an "ISM" full of hate and loathing for others.
Liberalism, hypocrisy is thy name! A bunch of race-baiting race-card idiots!

As I understand it, the argument goes something like this: All races are equal in ability, and all cultures are equally valid. Since these are the factors that determine outcomes, if outcomes are not equal, proportionately, to the population, that must be caused by inherent racism in the society.
I can pretty much accept the premise of equal potential ability, but it is ridiculous wishful thinking to believe that differences in culture are irrelevant to outcomes. It simply contradicts rationality and the evidence of history. First-generation black immigrants from Africa are more successful, materially, than native American whites. This also seems to hold for immigrants from the Caribean.

The best response to being called a racist is to ask, “Is that all you’ve got?”

If you happen to be white and somebody asks you whether you would rather walk down Fifth Avenue through Harlem or down Main Street in Enid, Oklahoma, the answer you give either makes you a racist or very stupid. I'll take racist any day.

The word racist no longer means anything. It is little more than a political talking point. Bombshell is a close second.

As long as there is black crime there will be racism.

Yes, "systemic racism" is the kind for which there's no evidence other than disparate outcomes. In other words, it doesn't actually exist.
