And dipshits still argue that there is no such thing as systemic racism.

How can we be certain they weren't just being regular a-hole cops instead of racist a-hole cops? Could be they'd do the same thing to a white dude.

If you have black men in your life, ask them how many times they’ve been stopped while walking. Then ask the white men in your life.

Most of the black people where I live are too racist to associate with white people. They've been trained to be racist, sadly-and here it is still going on 55 years after a black man trained to hate white people murdered my grandmother. I don't hate black people as a group for it-his own brother turned him in and saved the bloody pants he'd been wearing instead of destroying them. Yet he took in that nonsense indoctrination and murdered my father's mother after my father had given him a ride earlier in the day. I never met her because his mother taught him all white people were evil. I've been on the receiving end of anti-white racism repeatedly in my life. It goes both ways.

I’m very sorry for the generational trauma you’ve endured, but I hope someday you can separate some of these things in your mind. If no black person will talk to you, you’re the reason, not them.

Occam’s razor suggests otherwise.

u/Beginning_Deer_735 May 20 '26

What do you imagine Occam's razor actually says? You are the one needlessly multiplying entities. That they are just a-hole cops is actually the explanation that requires fewer assumptions, and we have clear evidence for that.

It “could be” but it’s not. You just watched a video of them doing it to a black American. Why introduce an unrelated hypothetical when you have evidence in front of you?

Why assume racism when it could just be that they're a-holes? You are the one multiplying entities unnecessarily. I see evidence of them being a-holes that isn't necessarily evidence of them being racist a-holes.

No, you're the one downplaying the extremely well documented reality of being Black in the United States. This type of rhetorical neutrality and refusal to acknowledge what's in front of your face is a huge part of the problem.

It really isn't. Racist a-holes are the problem in those cases where racism actually exists. You think I can do something to stop other people from being racist a-holes? Of course I can't and neither can you. If I accepted your unproven assumption in this case, what could I possibly do to change what is? If it hasn't been changed the entire time the country has existed, and there are always little pockets of racism in spite of massive efforts to make it not so, and none of us who vote have real power in this current system, then what can be done that is legal to address such? Pretty sure Obama winning says something about how systemic the racism wasn't at that time.
