That’s not how citations work. Can’t prove a negative. It’s on YOU to provide proof because you’re the one making the assertion that future racial discrimination fixes past injustice (which I wholeheartedly disagree with).
- unethical_ban 4y agoMake a powerful assertion against the tide of conversation then demand academic level sources without trying to convince anyone of your own position. There is a term for people like you and out rhymes with "scroll". No one is obliged to engage in your attempted argument nor to do more work than you're willing to put into the conversation.
- chrischattin 4y agoI’m sincere. Engaging in racial discrimination does not fix racism. It perpetuates it. It blows my mind that I have to state this in the current year. We have regressed so far.
- unethical_ban 4y agoIt blows my mind we can enslave, murder, ostracize an entire people and culture for hundreds of years and think "alright we're good" will fix it all. It isn't a simple problem, there is no one simple solution, but saying "never provide any extra help in education nor acknowledge systemic issues in criminal justice and housing" is pretty shallow. Of course, being an actual social democracy would get us really far, but poor conservative white people can't imagine a better life for themselves and poor black people. Effective government is evil to them.
- chrischattin 4y agoThat is twisted logic to justify racist behavior.
- aaomidi 4y agoI agree it’s twisted to think we can solve racism without addressing our history.
