so long as the definition of SYSTEMIC RACISM only accounts for the TEXT

Do laws regarding illicit drug use only apply to black people? Or is everyone equally forbidden from using certain drugs?

And do laws regarding illicit drug use only apply to black people? Or is everyone equally forbidden from using certain drugs?

That link did not cite a current law or policy that is discriminatory in it's nature.

So, address the real systemic issue: Prosecution of wrong doers. The system is not the problem. How the system is utilized is the problem.

If you claim that systemic racism is based on such laws and policies, why don 't any of you cite them? Your claim, alone, by your own definitions, fail to impress.

I agree with you that systemic racism cannot definitionally exist without any laws or policies that can be identified as discriminatory.

C: In legal practice, systemic racism no longer exists.

One might argue, in use of terms de jure and de facto,  that systemic racism in the U.S. is neither de jure, nor de facto. 

De jure systemic racism  implies that whether or not racism exists in reality, there is legal recognition of it.

De facto systemic racism implies that legally and procedurally, there is real systemic racism.

Neither condition holds.

What definition of SYSTEMIC RACISM are you employing?

Stating “racism is a nonsense, malicious term” isn’t an argument. 

ed samaritans. If my mother died of Covid-19, I am more likely to treat covid-19 patients without pay, because anything related to covid reminds me of my deceased mother.

I think this sounds a lot lazier than building a monument.

It’s okay to be racist. 

AD HOMINEM ATTACK

Lol so this isn't Ad Hom because I didn't claim that because he's that stupid, his post is wrong. I claimed that because his post was so wrong (we're talking denial of things right in front of him), he's stupid. It's astounding how stupid he has been, actually. I'm almost certain he's not trolling. It deserves an award.

Also, it would help avoid creating policy based on falsehoods.

A person’s attitude or feelings about someone can be based on a logical fallacy, that does not make said attitudes or feelings… a fallacy.

Two problems though. One is that reasonable does not = right. We all at some point in our lives have been treated a certain way because of something that had nothing to do with us. So even in the case where a given stereotype is mostly accurate, if you believe we should all be treated as individuals and held to account based on our actions/decisions then it’s easy to see why the potential reasonableness of a discriminatory attitude must take a back seat. And it might not always be easy, but anyone who cares at all about being a good person should work to try and rid themselves of these attitudes.

The other is that many of these cases are not actual lived experiences, it’s the result of cherry picking that goes on when people share stories of things that happened to them or things they saw on Instagram. No one shares the story of the guy who helped them with their groceries, so if this is where you’re getting your information from of course it’s just going to reinforce whatever stereotype you already accept. Most people are good, it’s just easy for us to accept those negative stereotypes because we often don’t spend enough of our time in the spaces of those we tend to discriminate against.

because it is possible to reject someone's culture

Racism is not a fallacy. You're confusing the presumption of what someone's race or ethnicity is with how one feels about it. Racism is the latter.

It's spectacular that you've found a way to be this stupid. You may be the first person in the history of humanity to have negative I.Q.

Stating “racism is a nonsense, malicious term” isn’t an argument. 

Depends upon how you define the "group".

My proposed conclusion is that we accept racial genetic differences for what they are: real.

True altruists are very very thin on the ground.

Ragnar discussion, he literally specified. 

It also generates more help than empathy.

I saw your (3RU7AL) vids. I still think empathy requires more energy than sympathy.

The whole point of this thread is to remind people that racial differences are scientifically plausible.

Racism is a nonsense, malicious term

You better not call yourself a conservative with this sort of snowflakery. 

Such victim olympics nonsense. Wear racism on your arm. 

BUT LET'S GRANT YOUR PREMISE.  ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE SHOULD PRIMARILY SELECT JEWISH ASIANS FOR POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY ?

No.

Since it's impossible to see someone's birthplace or their parent's birthplace, "racism" (as you've defined it) is impossible.

Racism is a mentality. There is nothing about it that requires the person holding discriminatory views to be factually correct.

It's actually pretty racist to deny housing or employment due to skin color. 

Do these CAUSES also have CAUSES ?

Yes.

In my belief, god himself his perfect. That's my belief because of my religion.

What skin color you're born with, isn't a choice. Religion, political party, etc., are choices.

The magnitude of difference should be self evident. 

You're doing that thing again where you ignore all refutation of your points - read - it'll do wonders for ya'

If you actually think there's no difference between disliking someone for them wanting to de-criminalize rape (at least if it results in pregnancy), and just being born one skin tone instead of another, I don't know what to say to you.

For sure.

Sympathy is a direct and motivating response to a stimulus.

Whereas empathy is  perhaps a more  intuitive response.

In 2012 he went public with his belief that it scientifically (he seriously claimed science on this) doesn't count as rape if you get her pregnant.

As an example, no sane person would hate Todd Akin for the conditions of his birth. That as a politician he wanted to decriminalize any rape resulting in pregnancy... His sincerely held beliefs make him repentant.

If a sense of community gives some sort of justification for a long-held belief that you should stone adulterers, then perhaps you have failed as a human being.

I think treating enemies kindly is naive

If peer pressure is a problem for them, then the fault is on them.

Isn't killing or imprisoning or denying someone a job because of their religion and or political belief just as "evil" as "racism" ?

They're not the same thing. Belief is an association of different ideas. You connect ideas like an umbrella. If you believe in religious dustbins like Saudi Arabia, there's a high chance that you believe that anything outside of its life values is barbaric. I think treating enemies kindly is naive; the west often makes this simple mistake of trying to act ethically with rather suspicious and morally questionable individuals. 

I want to know why good samaritans like Z exist, if indeed selfishness is coded in our genes. 

Whereas if they arrested someone for murdering other people,
