> I reject the notion of "structural racism".
As I understand it, structural racism is less of a notion and more of a series of facts; eg: post WWII white servicemen largely got easy bank loans and a greased entry into generational family owned housing, black servicemen didn't, real estate agents and HOAs redlined (?) rental and purchase applications to separate out black American families, infrastructure tended to destroy and break up black communities over white communities, etc.
Are these past events that you reject?
- TimTheTinker 1mo agoThose happened and they were evil. I'm not arguing with that.
- defrost 1mo agoFair enough then, you don't reject past structural racism existing as a fact, and likely acknowledge that has cast a shadow that continues into today's US society. You might want to be clear to the other commentator (I'm just a drive by) what the "notion" is that you reject.
