Many seem to think that abolishing slavery was all we needed to do and that racism died along with that decision...
That's true. however there are some who like to bring up the past and apply it to the present I think we have to draw a line and separate the two ,,history being history and present-day discrimination being something completely different, it's not based on slavery it is based purely on colour.
Nobody can move on if we constantly argue about the past.

OK, so no laws codify racism. If something is so overwhelming, that just doesn't add up. If I'm born a racist, then such seems even harder to explain.
Contrary, in the past "quota's were even established to aid minorities advancement at both universities and in industry. These still exist today with my private employer.
Black President, how'd he ever get elected considering "whites" are born racists? The "Oprah" certainly has done well. In fact "black culture" is celebrated everywhere in American.
Is it my racism that explains 6% of the population being responsible for 41% of violent crime? Don't tell me, I can guess the answer.

Truthfully, if I were to say something racist it would be...why is it the black minority appear so easy to manipulate? Now that is blunt, but I don't think its racist.
Consider, the Democrat Party's candidate for President said; if you don't vote for me, you aren't black! That's racist. And yet, blacks have fallen for Democrat lines, promises and policies for 5-decades, 50-years and more. Manipulated? Used? I'd like to think it wouldn't take me fifty years to wise up. But being told everyday "I can't complete due to racism" may have greater incapacitating power than I realize.
Today, all of the huge corporations are shelling out huge monies to support "BLM". With the cash the black minority is delivering the violence "antifa" and others desire, incite and plan. But who benefits?
Well mostly the corporations. Small competitors are being destroyed, not Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google, and others. Kill the competition, fine by us. And Democrat Party elites benefit from the votes they expect to get from the violently energized black minority.
But is the black minority itself helped? Perhaps a very few who for a time "run" the country of CHOP. Some looters too who have fun destroying and running off with a lot of free, cool stuff. But the masses of the black minority? They get squat. Simply manipulated and used once again.
Allowing them the crutch of "America's systemic racism", to me, is racism itself.
There is a line...for a joke to be funny it must contain a bit of truth. Perhaps it is also true, if a comment annoys, the comment must contain a bit of truth too.

No. Police have historically waged a "war against illegal drugs" and the crack house, gang violence they enable. They've been there, done that.
If BLM truly cared about black lives, they might try cooperating with these police efforts. That was my point.
In Chicago this past weekend, 104 shooting occurred essentially all black-on-black violence. Twelve children were injured or worse, 14 total so far shot dead. I'd think BLM would care, but they don't.

If they have been "there and done that" then surely there will be none left for the protesters?
Seriously, you have a fair point that law abiding people should be pointing out drug activities, but you cannot expect a mob to do that.
You are finding fault for the sake of it now.
Caution, I am feral.
