They are synonyms as I understand it.

I'll use the article cited in the first page to define it:
SYSTEMIC RACISM INCLUDES THE COMPLEX ARRAY OF AnTIBLACK PRACTICES, THE UNJUSTLY GAINED POLITICAL-ECONOMIC POWER OF WHITES, THE CONTINUING...

Correct me, then.

You seem to be ignoring what I write. The terminology is largely the point.

Saying "black people are generally less well off, hold less positions of power, and are incarcerated more often"...

Racism is a motive, an intent. Racism supplies animus to an action. Systemic racism is an unseen, lingering intent that does not provide animus to a SPECIFIC ACTION. The theory relies solely on...

Let me be more direct.

Do I think the law solves the problem?

No. Laws alone don’t ever solve the problem. If they did, we wouldn’t need enforcement.

In some cases, like this one, market...

From my previous response:

“The answer is simple: hire HR directors and specialists that understand proper hiring practices to not run afoul of the law. An effective hiring manager realizes that...

Yes, they have the opportunity to move. They may not be able to move NOW, but that is not a measure of opportunity, but of their present means (outcome).

A hypothetical to illustrate this point:...

The answer is simple: hire HR directors and specialists that understand proper hiring practices to not run afoul of the law. An effective hiring manager realizes that race is neither effective nor...

This is adverse impact and maybe disparate treatment, both violations of the Civil rights act of 1964. It’s on the business to prove they aren’t discriminating illegally.

The hiring/selection...

The condescension is getting old.

You obviously can’t refute my points so you deflect to me apparently being illiterate.

None of this is causal.

No worries.

We have different definitions of opportunity.

I would firstly state that opportunity for success or failure in life is not dictated by a selective-admissions college, but since...

You are failing to articulate the specifics regarding this odious structure. You fail to quantify the harm, yet still manage to agree that dollar value can cure the ills.

"The structure is the...

I haven't kept up with this thread, sorry.



All races have equal opportunity in this country. It is binary. If your claim is that equality of opportunity is unequal, then a solution should be...

You're presenting ACTUAL racist policies and events that are no longer legal, and maintaining that they still have a stranglehold on the prosperity of minorities. Present the ACTUAL racist policies...

I appreciate the response.

I have made no such equation. I am speaking in the context of legal framework. Opportunity is equal or not. I am asserting that all have equal opportunity under the law....

I’d like to see a specific framework of some kind. Sounds similar to things we already have such as affirmative action and workforce investment act.

Wealth correlating to power isn’t much of a leap.

That’s not what you all have been saying this whole thread.

From JLs article in the first post:

SYSTEMIC RACISM INCLUDES THE COMPLEX ARRAY OF ANTIBLACK PRACTICES, THE UNJUSTLY GAINED...

You can’t agree that my solution (reparations) to your problem is viable and then call it a strawman. Just google “institutional racism” and “reparations” to see what pops up.

Economic advantage...

I'm exposing the argument for systemic racism to what it really is: wealth redistribution and class warfare drizzled with racism to make opponents fearful of objection.

If you agree that de jure...

Double the current median net worth of US households? Sounds like a starting point.

Negotiate it then. What number do you think is appropriate?
