All of the data support class theory of crime, much stronger correlation than race.

THe social theory of systemic racism only exists as pseudoscientific tautology.

When you know, you know... and once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

It actually supports in unbalanced criminal justice system. It also supports systemic racism in far more than crime. For instance: housing, banking, employment, advancement, healthcare, equal pay, representation and so forth are all evident by the data to negatively impact people of color.

The facts of the presence of systemic racism are readily present in many institutions in American society. Those who don't want to admit them choose not to to promote their version of an equal America that is simply not supported by any data. Which is why they never actually present any. They simply implore tactics to convince others they don't understand the easily discernible data. Much like we here from a certain brand of political messaging, "only we have the truths and the solutions, even though we can never convey them or actually prove them."

Who credibly compares today's time to chattel slavery? Do you honestly get that from watching the video? Seems an awful lot like fear-mongering and gas-lighting. If you honestly felt the is the message being conveyed, you all wouldn't have to work so hard to manipulate and lie about it.

I think they have advocated for dialogue for decades. Eventually it will escalate if the message isn't getting heard. I don't support violence, but to act like dialogue hasn't been attempted is void of history.

You would think someone who had convinced themselves so deeply that systemic or institutionalized racism didn't exist would easily be able to provide the supporting data to prove why it does not exist in financial institutions, housing, education, healthcare, pay, employment, advancement opportunities, positions of leadership and so on. If you notice, they instead shift to posting Tweets that agree with them from very random sources. They will occasionally try to quote the words or an academic who supports their claims, but it's never actually included with data or facts. Then you eventually get the claim that it's simply not worth posting because it would not be understood. Surely, even if you truly believed that, you wouldn't just assume that everyone else here wasn't capable of interpreting it. It appears the bigger reason is that it simply does not exist, and this is all a tactic to deflect from that.

Again, you notice the argument gets diverted via strawman into something else entirely. When the data doesn't exist to support the argument there ideological promoting his hoping to accomplish, they just transition into a new argument to divert from the initial one.

Obviously they should have the access to that if they have formed these beliefs based on it.

Reading this gives some clarity on the recent uptick in hate crimes against Asians in America. Notice, it wasn't the black president calling it the Kung Flu, Asian Flu, Wuhan Virus, Chinese Virus and so on. The uptick in violence in America is also predominately by white people. Again, just another example of it not being safe for people of color in the country.

I don't think posting a tweet of a militia group that most would condemn the rhetoric of is going to prove systemic racism doesn't exist. It's just more fear-mongering.


Why not also post the ideologies of right wing groups lime Boogaloo, whose core prinicipal is literally physical violence against elected officals and police. Their mission is to entice another civil war that they refer to as 2.0.
