I'm not sure I would go as far as to say it doesn't exist, but I also am not saying it is as prevalent as Shannon Sharpe tries to portray. You are always going to have ignorant people in this world, but racism is not a major problem in America. It is a problem with a low occurrence rate in our nation. People are discriminated against far more for their gender and religion than the color of their skin. I think that, as annoying as his voice is when he talks lol, Wayne makes good points and you can tell he is genuine in his stance.
Lil' Wayne Racism Doesn't Exist

Good for Wayne! Dead serious when Insay this and racism can't be blanketed but if your a civil half intelligent human being that tries to care about the respect it takes to deal with all people, then racism really isn't an issue for you.
It really is that simple and would eliminate 75% of what is called racism.

It's naive to say that racism doesn't exist on an individual level. It does and it exists at within police forces as well. However, is it a problem that requires wide scale change in America? I don't think so.
Racism doesn't exist anymore in police forces as it does in everyday communities. Police are more high profiled with the shootings, but 99% of police don't wake up hating black people.
I agree. I wasn't implying otherwise. They were talking about Kaepernick and that's one of the things he's "fighting" for. I personally don't believe the police are an issue. Statistically there's just no evidence to support that cops are hunting down black people.
We need more white people like Sean educating Wayne. Obviously, he's an expert of all things, but especially speaking for the black man.
Funny thing is, if Wayne says racism does exist, it's nothing but disagreement from 99% of this board
I disagree with Wayne. Did you see the video of the black guy mowing down the three white cops today? Cleary racist. It does exist.
Or like this Montrell Muhammad character. Seems like a quality leader.

Not sure how that's relevant to what's been discussed. Most people in the thread have said racism does in fact exist and no one has said that Lil Wayne should be President or that they agree with everything he says. A lot of folks just agreed, for the most part, with his opinion on this topic.
Racism exists to individuals..meaning hey that guy right there is racist. It does not exist systematically which is what democrats push. The system isn't against blacks, people don't automatically count black people out. Field overseers and plantation owners aren't operating companies. People don't wake up and think about how they can keep blacks down.
The reason mass racism appears is for people like that lunatic Shaun King that want it to so he can profit on it. Or democrats to collect votes to push their own agenda

The problem is people today don't know what racism actually is. There is very little racism today, what there is are prejudice's, and all people, of all shapes and colors have them.
It's simply human nature to be around things that are familiar. It doesn't mean you hate those people, it just means you're not comfortable.

I always take counsel from rappers and mediocre Bay Area quarterbacks.
How is that obvious? More specifically, how is that "most" obvious? My guess is that you want to believe that Wayne hates blacks because he doesn't possess that form of inward/outward feeling and thinking commonly associated with blacks on social issues. Or because to you Wayne presents an image of "siding" with whites, and you hate that. Perhaps I could form the statement from your post that it is most obvious that you hate whites, based simply on your harsh judgment of Wayne's image that includes many items that the modern free-thinking ideology demands of intelligent whites: (1) tolerance, (2) kindness, and (3) an overall natural resistance to judge blacks.
Wayne can say racism doesn't exist and simply be incorrect about it. He should be envied for that very basic outcome. Very few or none major white celebrities of any sort could make that statement in similar forum and walk away from it with a similar basic outcome. Chances are certain it would follow them for a very long time and they would regret it, negatively alter their careers. THAT is an example of racism.

Dude...this isn't the political thread. Pretty sure Mash was being funny with his post.
What about all the white on white violence in the rural areas?? Nobody wants to talk about that.
But it's there.

Duh, whitey sucks major ***. Pretty much single handedly ruined this world with their greed.
That's kind of what I think. How can you force people to like everybody. We have thousands of years of history showing people just don't like each other and they will come up with any reason to justify it. Skin color is just a real obvious difference to pick.
Racism exists. The thing is nowadays it's just less blatant...a lot of it is more at the subconscious level in profiling. The human brain likes to categorize, and label things even if it makes use of steriotypes when it does it. To say racism completely doesn't exist is moronic.
For example, was talking to a guy I come in contact with at work the other day about UK/Wiscy in 2015. He made a comment saying "good to see a team with that "completion" beat a team like UK". I asked him what he meant....he specifically said, "I'm not racist but I like seeing a team with a bunch of white guys that play significant minutes".
That stuff still exists... I see judges, police officers and multiple forms of court officials and just people in general profile every day. Do I think they wake up saying i am going to screw over black people today? No. But when a white guy and a black guy stand before a judge with the same history, same lifestyle, employment status, DPA, etc and the white dude gets released without a question and the black dude gets detained and assessed a DPA fee for wearing a fake gold chain when the white dude had an apple watch on-- one has to ask if that isn't racism or profiling, what the hell do you call it?

Sean quit triggering people's emotions with your millenial crap.
Right on cue-
Terence Crutcher
No "lengthy criminal history"...
There's simply no way to justify this

And we don't have to try. I haven't seen anyone defending what happened. It's terrible and the cop should go to jail. However, can you prove racism or just a miserable cop?
Listen to the tape coming from the helicopters POV. The woman's husband sees a large black man walking with his hands up and he says " he looks like a bad dude, he has to be on something". Again, subconscious profiling. I call that hidden racism/institutionalized racism. Neither woke up with a mission to do that, but it happens due to profiling...and the vast majority of the time a person's race is the basis of the profile.
Sean-I didn't see you comment on the black guy that deliberately drive his car into three white cops last week. Was that conscious or sub conscious? Or probably just bad driving, right?
So because I don't say anything about it I don't care? I don't think that's right at all....but you wouldn't have those instances of insanity happening if you didn't have disproportionate shootings and incarceration of African Americans, more specifically men. Doesn't mean I condone that behavior....but ask yourself why is it really that something like that or the shooting in Dallas is happening?
Damnit Sean how are we supposed to know what you're feeling if you don't communicate those feelings? Transparency is the answer, and I pray you find it.
There's a huge problem with this line of thinking. It's racism when a white cop shoots a black man, but it isn't racist when BLM chants to kill cops, people hunt down cops in Dallas or drive a car into a group of cops. I agree that the Crutcher shooting was horrible and the cop needs to be locked up. It very well could have had racist motivations behind it.
If you want to say that shooting is racist you have to be willing to call racism on the other side. You can't say, "it was bad, but white people made them that way." That's absolutely ridiculous and it's a problem with the general discussion of this topic. If you look statistically you won't find disproportionate about of white cops shooting innocent blacks. You just won't. We agree that there will instances of bad shootings, like the Crutcher one. Stats, however, don't back up the claim.
