The “system”. Democrats have for all but 5 years held majority since 1959. You would think they would have fixed that by now.

You seem to think I don't think Democrats are racists, or if Democrats haven't solved a problem therefore the problem doesn't exist. Partisan politics makes idiots out of people.,

Redditers definitely think Democrats aren't racist they keep telling everyone to vote for them.

By definition of you voted for Joe Biden are voting to continue to propagate the racist system.

They were replying to me, not "redditers:

So they used very bad technique assuming that my beliefs were those of "redditers"

The last part of your comment "by definition" is just dumb. You can think Democrats are racist and vote for them as the lesser of two evils, the least racist of the two racist parties.

Y'all are just bad at logic, it seems (Y'all being you and the OP I replied to)

Racist is saying even though it’s not white people, it’s white people.

tell me you still don't understand systemic racism without saying you don't understand systemic racism.

At least you gave up your Democrat whataboutism argument, I guess.

In Tennessee? In Memphis? Since 1959?

I don't really agree with woke politics or the systemic racism narrative, but, to the extent there are structural problems, Democrats can't just fix them. There isn't some piece of legislation they can just repeal to make the law enforcement system less racist.

I think it's safe to say that police officers have, for many decades, felt they can get away with savagery towards Blacks more easily than against Whites (leaving other races out of the equation for the moment). A lot of the cops committing these offenses might very well be willing to apply their brutality in color-blind fashion, and are just less-deterred when the victim is Black.

But Democrats are political dunces, and White liberals tend to be naive and overtaken by some misguided desire to genuflect for any Black or Hispanic claiming there is racism nowadays, and want to make this about race all the time. It's really about the fact that, legally, police in this country get away with waaaaay too much and have gotten away with way too much for far too long. It's totally inconsistent with the free, rule-of-law society Americans are supposed to believe we have.
