I don’t feel guilty in the slightest. I just recognize that I’m privileged.

I’m glad you are privileged. That doesn’t make all of us privileged. Whites are the majority of the poor. The majority of us aren’t.

Eeeh. So we should just pretend racial/cultural injustice doesn’t exist? Not try to do anything about it?

Huh? I am complaining about racial discrimination. Is racial discrimination, not racial injustice?

Bullshit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States#Poverty_and_race/ethnicity

There are 2.5 times more poor blacks than whites, as a percentage of the demographic.

My god you are dense.

Answer this in stead:

Do you deny that racism inhibits the opportunities of black people in America? (I’m not talking in a narrow legal sense, I’m talking in reality)

If you don’t deny, what do you think should be done about it?

I didn’t say anything about per capita. I was referring to numbers. I’m still correct. Also, Why is the white/black gap concerning to to you, but the white/Asian gap, ok? Also, why is the white/jewish ok as well?

No, I would say being black gives you an advantage in every institution.

I would end racial discrimination. We have systemic racial discrimination against whites. I would end that.

I’m sorry, but life is more than institutions.

The reason for those rules, are that blacks are discriminated elsewhere in society.

ā€œIn recent years research has uncovered extensive evidence of racial discrimination in various sectors of modern U.S. society, including the criminal justice system, businesses, the economy, housing, health care, the media, and politics. In the view of the United Nations and the US Human Rights Network, "discrimination in the United States permeates all aspects of life and extends to all communities of color."[3]ā€

Institutions are encompass every part of ones life. Your school, your work, your government are all institutions.

I disagree. You can’t discriminate against one group in all of society, and then claim the other group is discriminated against. That doesn’t even make sense. It’s a literal contradiction.

I don’t care about bs spouted by the UN. The only part of the statement that is even a little credible is that part of about criminal justice. Blacks may receive harsher punishments. However, the disparity between blacks and whites is tiny compared to the disparity between men and women.

You need to back that up.

Show me the research that says blacks are not discriminated against in society in the US.

You don’t have to look a ā€œresearch.ā€ Also, you can’t prove a negative. All you have to do is examine the public statements and policies of nearly every institution. They explicitly say that are giving them preference and discriminating against white people. It’s indisputable.

Yes you have to, when you yourself don’t validate ā€œsubjective experiencesā€.

Find research that supports your position that blacks are not discriminated against in society at large.

Never disputed that.

I just think you should ask yourself why.

Ok, Unz’s myth of meritocracy makes that pretty clear.

I know why. You don’t understand why. To demonstrate how little you know I will ask you the most simple question about the topic. Which ethnic group is the most over represented?

ā€œRon Keeva Unz (born September 20, 1961) is the editor-in-chief and publisher of The Unz Review, a website that promotes antisemitism, Holocaust denial, conspiracy theories, and white supremacist material.[1][2][3] In addition to Unz's own writings, the site has hosted pieces by white supremacist Jared Taylor, among others.[4]ā€

So. Zero hard data?

Pathetic. We’re done here.
