> But racism is different than systemic racism.

Not giving loans and putting them in jail and killing one group of people is systemic racism. Not sure why I have to keep repeating it, its as if you dont want to accept that you are wrong so you keep on deflecting it.

> Please point to one law or government policy in the US in CURRENT_YEAR that systemically discriminates against a specific group, so people are aware of it, so we can fix it.

LOL it does not work like that. These are unwritten rules and polices, you dont notice it if you are white.

> Some groups had it worse than others, of course, and we all recognize that.

looks like you are not recognising it if you are comparing slavery and lynching to "other" problems face by everyone else.



Our fundamental disagreement seems to be that you believe in equality of outcome and I believe in equality of opportunity.

If there's examples of certain groups not getting loans when they should qualify, of people being put in jail when they don't commit crimes, or one group of people being targeted for execution by the police, that sounds horrific and wrong so please point it out with data.

I've nicely requested repeatedly for you to please provide one example of a law or government policy that systemically discriminates against a specific group of people so we can fix it. I haven't seen a valid response.

As a closing message, I really don't want to get into a suffering competition here: but other group's history is also filled with being victims of literal genocides, mass kidnappings and slavery, starvation and squalor and the most horrific living and working conditions, the most savage wars in human history, etc.


You keep on asking for examples of law but you just refuse to acknowledge that there are some things which are not written in a rulebook anymore but they are still followed by racists.

Our fundamental disagreement is that you believe in survival of the fittest, you believe that fittest group should freely abuse and torture another group and the children of fittest group should enjoy the fruits of that crime. You just keep dancing around it instead of saying it directly.

As a closing message, I am part of that group which you consider successful in the US and the fact is the issues which you mention are still not comparable slavery and lynching and other horrible things which the group you support have done.

> so please point it out with data.

Do I have to teach you how to use Google?

You can start doing your homework with this one
