The term is divisive? But, when you notice a systematic discrimination against Americans with dark skin, how do you talk about it?

- hollywood_court 1y agoI know you're looking for an argument here. But I talk about it the same way any reasonably educated person talks about it. I know racism and discrimination are alive and well here in the US and elsewhere. I have witnessed it myself many times. My mother was a career long LEO in the south. While I was growing up, I heard her and her fellow LEOs discussing how they would treat black people differently numerous times. The first time I flew home to the states after six years, I brought my black girlfriend with me. Together, she and I saw/heard things that I still think about to this day. I wore a tool belt and was a blue collar guy for the first ~20 years of my career. I heard racist stuff and saw discrimination pretty much every day of my career. I'm not sure what part of my original comment would make you feel like making your comment, but I'm sorry I couldn't offend you further.
