Guy Chamberlin Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This country is a lot more racist than a lot people want to believe. Less racist than others want to believe. Racism isn't an excuse for every personal shortcoming of a person of color. And some white people are opportunists, ginning up the stakes to sell race theories to other white people. It's complicated, and we don't do complicated well. But the fact remains that this country is a lot more racist than a lot of people want to believe. 2 Link to comment

Systemically I don’t agree 1 1 Link to comment

Systemically I don’t agree Well the systemic part is the part we can address. It most definitely exists, backed by reams of statistics. FWIW, it's not just an American thing. It's a human thing. Like I said, it's a lot worse than some people want to believe. Link to comment

If people need to believe America is racist in order to get through their days grievances then that’s on them. Most people work hard obey the law and have no issues. Sorry you fall into the first group it seems. 1 Link to comment
