Systematic racism? Then why bother immigrating to a country where all aspects of life are structurally aligned against people of color?

Answer: Because too many people in this country are dependent on keeping the racism train going. Their very livelihoods and power are at stake.
There is no 'Dept of Race', but it's imbedded in every sector and corner throughout our government.
If it's so bad, why do people of color stampede to get here?

"The premise that oppressed people vote with their feet is one of the central arguments of Ilya Somin’s 2020 book, “Free to Move.” Somin sees mobility as an indispensable freedom allowing oppressed people to circumvent systemic disadvantage. Whereas the voices of minorities are sometimes diluted in general elections, movement offers people the freedom to actively change their lives."



‘Foot voting’ complicates the narrative that the U.S. is inherently racist​



Agrowing segment of American intellectuals believe that racism is baked into the nation’s crust. From the country’s “original sin” of slavery to the displacement of Indigenous people to Jim Crow segregation to Japanese internment camps and the carceral state, these thinkers argue that systemic racism is an inherent feature of American life.


 
There is no systemic racism, there hasn't been for a very long time. The only racism problems we have are the ones created by supposed anti racists.

We had the Superbowl and half time filled to the brim with blacks, you can't turn on he tv without seeing almost every commercial with blacks in it, we had a black president twice, black doctors and lawyers, black congressmen, BLM has run around burning and looting across the country in the name of blacks, we have affirmative action which is racist in favor of blacks, black history month but no white history month and so on.

There is no systemic racism.
 
People would rather be oppressed by White people in a better society than by their own people back in their shithole home countries, which are mostly dictatorships and the like.
Nonsense.

The belief that systemic racism against "people of color" in America is real is the most common symptom of a very serious psychological disorder. This disorder is the latent form of virtue signaling, which itself is a state of psychosis brought on by drooling stupidity.

Holy shit. Great question.
 
One of the reasons for their immigration here is because correcting the status in their countries would take effort and it is easier to come here and profit off the alleged racism without having to work to make their life better. As long as the false idea of systemic racism can be perpetuated, there will be "social program" to benefit those who want them, paid for by those willing to work.

"Systemic Racism" is a code word for free enterprise, a concept communists hate.
 
Could it be because we were brought here in chains and didn't migrate here.
They are talking about the tens of thousands of people risking their lives walking thousands of miles through central America and Mexico as well as the people floating to Miami on makeshift rafts from Cuba and Haiti all so they can make it to the United States and get a big heaping helping of systemic racism.
 
Could it be because we were brought here in chains and didn't migrate here. Here is an idea, how about we just get rid if the racism.
I agree. We must remember all races kept slaves at one time or another. The Romans, Egyptians, American Indians, and even black African tribes kept other blacks as slaves and some even sold them to white slave traders from Europe and America. The past can not be changed, but we also can not live in the past. All races show some signs of racism. While it is probably impossible to stamp out, we must try to do so. The problem is racism has become big business for some. That means some of the very people that should be working to eradicate racism are actually working to perpetuate it for profit. Racism will not be eradicated until those that profit from it are ignored by all.

Every month is White History Month.
 
Regardless, people from Central and South America are still desperate to escape the countries they love because they been been all but destroyed by the cartels that are financed by selling drugs to AMERICANS.

How ironic: American drug money making people desperate to escape to America, even though they're hated here. That's the impossible situation American drug money has created.

Close and secure the border if you want to stop drugs. Biden is not doing that, is he?

Yea we learn about other folks being slaves in World History, but we are talking American History right now.
The past can not be changed, but we also can not live in the past.
If you don't know what was, then you don't know what is and you are ill prepared for what is yet to come.

That's the cop out and excuse we keep hearing, it's hard to ignore something that is being done to you.
 
They were offered a ride back. Why didn't they take it?
Why should they? When slavery ended most of the black folks who were here had never lived in Africa and black folks had sweat, bleed and died here why did they need to go anywhere. Instead talking about the racism and discrimination ending you come with some bullshit about why didn't they leave.
