This question is mostly for left wingers and particularly the black ones. Can black people be racist?

[Anomalism]

I understand that black culture probably has some reasons to not like or trust white people. That being said can a black person be racist? Justified or not, is that racism useful? Can it be destructive? In what ways might it hold back or undermine non-racist black people? Have you ever tried to correct that kind of racism?

According to the moonbats and their Affirmative Action, blacks are a very incapable lot, so they don't know how to be racist.

Anyone can be racist and there is not a lot you can do about that. The system can and does have racism built into it, that can be remedied by simply changing the rules and having real accountability. It only seems like white people are being singled out for their attitudes because white people own the criminal justice system.

Do you think any of the systemic prejudice goes beyond just skin color?

 

[Mac1958]

"Racism" is the belief that another race is inferior. So, theoretically, anyone of any race can be "racist".

What racism is not is saying something racial that doesn't include the above belief.

So saying, "there are too many black kids without fathers" is not racist. It's racial. Saying "white cops make me fear for my safety" is not racist. It's racial. And instead of screaming RACIST when we hear those opinions, maybe we could DISCUSS them honestly, like normal adults.

Poor people in general get the shitty end of any encounter with the law. That needs to change as well. A simple traffic fine can be an economic disaster to someone that's just barely scraping by.

Do you think being poor, black and male might all contribute to what is often attributed to just racism against blacks?

 

[Disir]

Not every poor person is caught up in the system. That's crap. In fact, currently victims that are poorer no longer have access to justice.

Being stopped for driving while black is a real thing.

Can a human be racist? Some are others are not.

You are far more likely to be stopped doing 80 in a 45 mph zone than you are for being black.

 

[Street Juice]

Being stopped for driving while black is a real thing.

True.

No it's not. When the whole DWB thing started, some university wanted to document it and so clocked cars that were speeding on the NJ Tpke by race and discovered, to their disappointed surprise, that black motorists were actually less likely to be pulled over for speeding than their percentage of speeders warranted.

If you are two young black males in a beat up car with a missing tail light driving slowly down a residential street at 3:00 a.m., yes, you are more likely to be stopped and asked what you are up to than if you are an 80 year old white grandmother driving just as slowly down the same street at 3:00 p.m.

But so what? If you are two young white males in a beat up car with a missing tail light driving slowly down a residential street at 3:00 a.m., you are also more likely to be stopped and asked what you are up to than if you are an 80 year old black grandmother driving just as slowly down the same street at 3:00 p.m.

God, people, get a clue. Stop being so easily duped by the divide-and-conquer Bolsheviks.

Why are you trying to justify a bias you say does not exist? The bias continues after the stop when blacks are more likely to get the full fascist, hand on the gun, unreasonable search treatment for even minor infractions. Some people think the sundown town is something of the past but black people know not to be driving through some neighborhoods after dark.

That's my point. Blacks are more likely to pull out a gun and start shooting at the cop. Blacks are also more likely to resist arrest. Blacks are also more likely to speed.

Males are also more likely to pull out a gun and start shooting at the cop. Males are also more likely to resist arrest. Males are also more likely to speed. So if males are stopped more often and get the drawn gun treatment it is bias against males? Of course not. It's the cops acting in terms of the world as it really is. That isn't to say there aren't fucked up cops, but it is hardly evidence of "systemic racism". Stop being such a gullible dupe for the Bolshevik puppeteers.

In deep blue areas the criminal justice system is not controlled by white people who have attitudes you espouse of them with many minorities having judicial power also..
