About all that institutional racism…

Dr Sowell addressed quite a few of those assumptions.

You did listen to the elderly black man, didn’t you?

This should be required reading in Ameican schools.

"We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, “Wait.” But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can’t go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five year old son who is asking: “Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?”; when you take a cross county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading “white” and “colored”; when your first name becomes “nigger,” your middle name becomes “boy” (however old you are) and your last name becomes “John,” and your wife and mother are never given the respected title “Mrs.”; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of “nobodiness”—then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience."

Did you listen to the 93 year old black man talk about his experience and new book? That’s what you recommended we do, right? Listen to older generations who experienced discrimination?

Don’t you have any comments on the interview?

All I see is nonsense deflection, probably from cognitive dissonance.

All I see is nonsense deflection

NEWSFLASH!
That's all you are going to get......
The Stooges, to the man (or half man in the case of Chuck) are the masters of this predictable dodge

Progressive eugenicist Margaret Sanger’s strategy advocated by its intended victims.

Again, if there’s any institutional racism, it’s in the Democrat Party.

"Racism is not always conscious, explicit, or readily visible—often it is systemic and structural. Systemic and structural racism are forms of racism that are pervasively and deeply embedded in systems, laws, written or unwritten policies, and entrenched practices and beliefs that produce, condone, and perpetuate widespread unfair treatment and oppression of people of color, with adverse health consequences. Examples include residential segregation, unfair lending practices and other barriers to home ownership and accumulating wealth, schools’ dependence on local property taxes, environmental injustice, biased policing and sentencing of men and boys of color, and voter suppression policies. This article defines systemic and structural racism, using examples; explains how they damage health through many causal pathways; and suggests approaches to dismantling them. Because systemic and structural racism permeate all sectors and areas, addressing them will require mutually reinforcing actions in multiple sectors and places; acknowledging their existence is a crucial first step."

Chuck, the authors of that paper are 4 progressive white women (one looks Asian, but they’re worse than whites when it comes to white supremacy, I’ve read). They did include one token black guy.

Have you listened to the elderly black gentleman yet? You know, like you recommended people do?

He was born in 1930 and knows about America before and after the civil rights movement. He’s even done some research on the subject.

I’d heed Malcolm X’s warnings about white liberals and trust the old black guy instead.

A modern demonstration of evidence of a racist system occured in South Carolina in 2015. Like in Alabama in the 1960's, the Confederate Flag was in full view.

"Roof espoused racial hatred in both a website manifesto which he published before the shooting, and a journal which he wrote from jail afterward. On his website, Roof posted photos of emblems which are associated with white supremacy, including a photo of the Confederate battle flag. The shooting triggered debates about modern display of the flag and other commemorations of the Confederacy. Following these murders, the South Carolina General Assembly voted to remove the flag from State Capitol grounds and a wave of Confederate monument or memorial removals followed shortly thereafter.

At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting at a place of worship in U.S. history, paralleling the Waddell Buddhist temple shooting in 1991, in which nine people were also killed,[5] and then superseded by the Sutherland Springs church shooting in Texas in 2017 and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in Pennsylvania in 2018. As of 2023, it is the deadliest mass shooting in South Carolina history."

The racist movement continued in Charlottesville in 2017 where, again, the Confederate Flag was on display. The Lost Cause and states rights were what American school children were taught. I remember a 80 year old man saying the CW was about states rights once and when I said it was about ending slavery, his contorted face was all that I needed to see. He truly thought it was about the right of a state to decide, but not that if human slavery would be able to spread and continue. We can blame American History Teachers and publishers of text books for not telling us the truth.

Now Trump is going after the Jews. The Jew have endured much over the years. Catholics have as well. Today Hispanic immigrants are also suffering the racism as are Asian peoples and Muslims. One type of racism might go underground, but the spirit of racism continues.

See how Chuck “silences” the black man by ignoring him?

Subtle racism, while he touts how not-racist he is.

This is what Malcolm X was warning about.

It’s difficult to imagine anything that doesn’t mesh with our preconceived concepts.

[Chuck Naill]

Racism will never end until fear ends.

[Chuck Naill]

Trump is an heir to white privilege.

[Chuck Naill]

That others here don’t know or think it’s “woke” is hilarious!!

[dneal]

You know when Chuck knows he’s on the losing side of the argument, because he gets triggered and posts multiple brief meaningless things.

But yes Chuck, I’m sure it is difficult for you to imagine anything that doesn’t mesh with your preconceived concepts.

That’s why I listen to new things, like the interview with Dr. Sowell about his new book. You pretend it doesn’t exist.

That’s your cognitive dissonance, or “difficulty imagining what doesn’t mesh with your preconceived concepts”.

Funny how you can identify the problem, but not when it lies with you.

[Chuck Naill]

The Dixiecrats considered Civil Rights to be centered in Communism and Socialism. Since the American ideal was freedom for all, whether true or not. That a system would be open and just for all to participate whether everyone was successful or not.

Now days, Socialism is now "woke". It is probably based on some myth about the "good old day". Some see everyone having a stake in the system, they lose something. Surely this is behind racism. It is not enough for you not being about to have an opportunity, I am going to take what you have if I can.

[dneal]

Still no comment about the research and new book from the elderly black man.

Just feel-good contextless pontificating about nebulous somethings that are “surely behind racism”, from an old southern white man who got the new religion and seems to be suffering from a guilty conscience.

Ibram X Kendi's "Anti-racism" center is being investigated after mass layoffs. People continue to love these narcissistic race-grifters

Great reporting in the student newspaper, of all places.


Amid mass layoffs, BU Center for Antiracist Research accused of mismanagement of funds, disorganization

Former staff members said the Center appeared to prioritize fundraising and revenue over research.

“If something was not sufficiently revenue-producing, then it wasn’t for CAR’s time,” Copeland said.

BU is not commenting on the reason for the layoffs, but according to multiple people familiar with the matter, Kendi told staff that the model of the Center is not currently financially sustainable.

Copeland said that earlier this year, the Center’s staff were told at least one funder would not continue investing in the Center because they were unhappy with the work being done.

“People started to get nervous,” Copeland said. “A funder, or more than one funder was like, basically, ‘we’re seeing the same thing that your staff are seeing, which is that the Center is having a problem, and we’re not going to keep giving you money.’”

Spencer Piston, an associate professor of political science, who works as the faculty lead in the Policy office at the Center, said the layoffs are surprising given that the new fellowship model “will involve hiring new people.” He said he is unsure if his job is secure at the Center.

“It’s pretty hard for me to imagine they blew through $30 million in two years,” Piston said. “There’s been a lack of transparency about how much money comes in and how it’s spent from the beginning, which comports with a larger culture of secrecy.”

Multiple CAR staff members said the Center was disorganized, and Kendi was ill-equipped to lead. The Center hired an executive director to run operations in Jan. 2022, who left after 14 months.

“Just because you’re a good scholar in your field doesn’t mean that you know how to run an organization, and that’s why lots of people don’t do that,” Copeland said about Kendi. “I don’t know if it’s a disciplinary issue as much as just a leadership ability issue.”

Copeland said the Center seemed disconnected from the University community, and that “it could’ve been a separate thing.” Research institutions do not need to be affiliated with a university, he said.

“From my perspective, the University allowed this to happen. They invited him to come. They gave him this power and money. They gave him public support, and now we’re in a situation where mass layoffs are happening,” Copeland said. “That didn’t happen in a vacuum.”
