    The USA isn't the only racist country there are many others. For example
    https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid - Segregation of Whites from Blacks in the country of South Africa
    https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/chinas-repression-uighurs-xinjiang - Concentration camps for the minority Uighur muslims in China's Xinjiang autonomous region < ------ Many Uighurs can speak fluent Mandarin and have mostly assimilated into Han Chinese culture
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...ietly-returning-seized-land-zimbabwe-mugabes/ - Discrimination against Europeans and mixed peoples of European descent in Zimbabwe
    https://www.britannica.com/topic/Rohingya - the Muslim Rohingya groups in Myanmar discriminated against by the Buddhist government

    Believing that the USA is the only racist country on Earth is not true. So many others are guilty of similar events against similar minority groups.
    You also can't argue that "It's just the white man who started slavery", No this is completely false and you could be a retard for believing that.
    Slavery has been a thing since humanity's begining in Africa. Today only one major slave trade still exists, that slave trade is by the minority Muslims against the popular Blacks in West African countries in Mali, Mauritania, and Morocco's Western Sahara break away region.

    And most slaves there are treated FAR worse then the slaves in the CSA back in the 1800s. Some slave children start their day being woken up by their owner beating them .Then they go out into the hot Saharan landscape to do whatever their owner wants them to do. They can't run off into the desert because this would mean certain death from dangerous animals and bugs to dehydration to barbaric nomadic tribes, and they can't run off from their owner in a city or town because the owner will simply hire someone to track down the child. When they get back to their owner, it's not just bad, it's hell.

    The main point of this is that the USA has come so far from it's days of slavery, segregation, and racism. Sure there are a few racist people left who choose not to hire a black man because he's black. But that boss or manager will loose out on many skilled workers for that. Many people are educated enough nowadays that it's a loss of profit to be racist. The only thing I've seen that'll come good out of these protests against this "systematic" racism is the maybe new diverted funds from the police going to help schools and to educate more people. But if you read all this. It's hard to believe racism is still on mass within the USA. You can point out a handful of cases including George Floyd, Freddie Gray, Sam Dubose, Philando Castile, and others, but this is a result of a certain principle. This principle makes you focus more on the "George Floyd" type cases by police rather than the arrests of Michael Chases, Andre Dubois, Mark Joyce, Cane Jens, and Filip Thompson.

    It's also not like that white police officers intentionally kill black people when they're spotted or are drivin' by racial prejudice. Black police officers have been shown to no more likely to kill another black person in the midst of crime.
    https://psmag.com/social-justice/black-cops-are-just-as-likely-as-whites-to-kill-black-suspects
    https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/study-destroys-argument-that-white-cops-are-shooting-black-men/
    It has been statistically proven that minority groups in the USA commit more crimes then the majority. This is due to our past. As I like to call it, they're "victims of the injustices of the US government". It's because of our unfortunate past that blacks commit more crimes than whites. Which leads to stereotyping, which can be seen as "fact" by many Americans. But because of many people refusing to have a racist government, to have racist people leading others in towns and cities and states. Racism is soon gonna become history.

    The argument that racism exists solely because blacks are black or that "America is still quite racist" falls apart when looked in depth. I wish many others chose to look into their sources and what's behind them before making arguments, heck I'm guilty of that. But there's just nothing to prove that racism is still on mass in the USA.

    The worst part about all of this, the shit that is going on in America, is going to breed more racists, the hate is growing on all sides.

    This is still going on? Idk how you can drill into someone who’s oblivious to the obvious racism that the good ol USA was built on.

    you like to tout the precious flag and how kneeling disrespects they military but did you know that black soldiers who went and fought in the war weren’t ever respected?
    “In a speech on the Senate floor in 1917, Mississippi Senator James K. Vardaman warned that the return of black veterans to the South would “inevitably lead to disaster.” Once you “impress the negro with the fact that he is defending the flag” and “inflate his untutored soul with military airs,” Vardaman cautioned, it was a short step to the conclusion that “his political rights must be respected.”


    Not to mention how they were targeted by lynchings by white mobs in the US who today proclaim how much they respect military service.

    “In Hickman, Kentucky, a recently-discharged black soldier named Charles Lewis was lynched in uniform in December 1918, just weeks after the end of World War I. Mr. Lewis was standing on the street in his uniform when a white police officer began harassing him and claimed he fit the description of a robbery suspect. When Mr. Lewis insisted that he was a soldier with no reason to rob anyone, the officer accused him of assault and arrested him. The next morning, a mob of white men broke into the jail, seized Mr. Lewis, and hanged him.”
    That’s just one incidence and there’s many more

    BUT BUT BUT RACISM DOESN’T EXIST

    “Three members of a North Carolina police department have been fired after a department audit of a video recording captured one of the officers saying a civil war was necessary to wipe Black people off the map and that he was ready.”
    This is literally fuckin this weak you can’t Make this up

    Out of all of this, I see one modern thing that we all focus on. ONE PARTICULAR EXAMPLE. That doesn't make the entire police force racist if a couple people say something

    It’s more widespread than you believe you say a few bad apples every time there are cops caught but how many times has that been? Right more than a few. Just cause it ain’t modern don’t mean it’s not true. This ain’t fossils data this is relatively recent 1900s since we are speaking of racism and how it really never disappeared.

    Can staff tell me why this thread has turned into the Systemic Racism thread, that was locked and archived for no good reason, yet nobody here has been warned for derailing?
    This is a thread to discuss the fact the rule was reverted back to it's former state, not a place to debate if America is racist or not. I don't even know how "n-word bad" is a political issue lmfao. Get a fucking hold of yourselves.
