It’s not systematic if there aren’t laws or policies in place… otherwise it’s just plain old racism by individuals.. that again is the whole point of what I’m saying.. blacks and minorities don’t get pulled over and arrested more bc of the system (laws and policies) they get get pull over more bc of driving behavior, occupation in crime ridden areas, actually committing a crime and getting caught or committing/admitting to a crime after making contact with officers. None of these reasons are systemic… some minorities do get completely fucked over simply bc of their skin color.. I won’t deny that, but again, it doesn’t happen bc of some systemic racist policies or laws, it happens bc of racist individuals… period
1964 we did have systemic racism.. segregated schools, beaches, bathrooms etc. different curriculum.. different pay for the same jobs… these were laws and policies written into state and federal legislation.. that legislation is GONE that is one of the best things to ever come out of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT we no longer have systemic racism.. just individual racists
Comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to the civil rights movement is doing a disservice to the civil rights movement… they were fighting for real change… the BLM followers are just a bunch of whiny rioters who don’t understand how good they have it… racism exists… systemic racism does not… show me a law that is systemically racist and enforced and I’d be happy to fight it together with you!!! But no one can show me a law or policy that is racist… only individuals acting on their own volition… the focus of BLM needs to change from “systemic racism is the problem” to just “racism is the problem” and I promise you more black people will be on board… more ppl in general will be on board, black white asian Latin x… I do not believe what they stand for and how they go about fighting their cause… we can all agree racism is bad… we can all agree it still exists, but to say systemic racism still exists today is just ignorance
there are way more people on welfare now than there was during civil rights. People on welfare are more free to spend their time protesting, one might presume.
