Systemic Racism Is A Myth

[The Don]

Hello.

When I watch CNN or MSNBC for that matter, or even when I read a Washington Post column from time to time, I recognize that those mainstream media outlets are pushing a systemic racism myth. And yes, 'systemic racism' is a myth. If you live in a Western nation and you are a citizen, you have all the rights that your fellow citizens have, regardless of race. Nobody can dispute this fact. You're literally free.

Then why are these mainstream media organizations complaining about ' systemic racism' all the time when in fact, as a black (or Hispanic) man you have all the chances to succeed in life?

There are successful Asians in America. In many cases, these Asians are doing better than whites. There are successful people of color in America as well.

All those black NBA players who refuse to stand during the national anthem have millions of dollars in their bank accounts. How are they oppressed?  I don't understand.

When it comes to hiring people, it's illegal to discriminate against someone based on his race.

Why are so many people complaining? Why are so many people, victims?

All those who scream 'racism' all the time have no meaning in their lives. That's why they do it. They see themselves as oppressed because they don't have the courage to be responsible for their own lives.

Any race can succeed in America if they put in the necessary work. But of course, they don't know that their minds are projecting reality. They don't know how to use their minds because no one taught them.

Of course, they are victims, as they aren't even curious to ask questions and look up the answers on Google, or YouTube for that matter.

A healthy mind knows that other people aren't to blame for your problems.

And I understand that those mainstream media outlets are pushing the narrative of 'racism' for clicks. All they care about is the revenue, not the people who actually need help to break out of that victim mentality.

Some people have privileges because they were lucky enough to grow up in a healthy, functional family. That's the only privilege some people have.

just because the law is on paper equal for everyone, e.,g. "When it comes to hiring people, it's illegal to discriminate against someone based on his race." , it doesn't mean that all people in the society follow that law. many illegal things happen all the time in all areas of life:-)

One example of structural racism is where you start out with a segregated neighborhood and this neighborhood is located at a further distance from the economic and governmental power centers. New York is an example.   So after segregation is abolished the segregated nature of the neighborhood hood remains but with some gentrification on its peripheries as the majority might like to expand.   So the neighborhood might not be entirely segregated but a great amount of it still is.  

Then you have capital.  Inheritance has passed on profits of slavery and segregation generation to generation so that people are not starting on a level playing filed.   Some overcome this, Jay Z, Oprah , Michael Jordan 
but the vast majority don't

Exploratory discussions of racism are fine. Yet trying to push blue level propaganda like “racism is a myth” isn’t gonna fly. Yet its fine to put it as an example of blue ideology in SD blue mega thread.
