"War on drugs" is a slogan not an example. People of all colors are in jail for drug crimes. Do you have an actual specific example?
Which property rights and freedom of associations have been "stripped" to "right past wrongs?" And if we're saying "black privilege" exists, then by default, are we also saying "white privilege" exists?
And your bet about my former PD, at least at the time of their first minority hiring, until my retirement, probably isn't a bet you should take.
You asked for an example, and now you're moving the goalposts? And what does "people of all colors are in jail for drug crimes mean?" Surely, you not saying that for something to have an institutional effect, it must only effect those of a particular group. That's like saying "well, I took a white person to jail once on some bogus charges, so that means you can't call it racism when I tell you I locked up 100 Latino guys for the same reason."
Can I sell or refuse to sell my house to whomever I choose for any stated reason? We both know the answer is no, so that's just one example of property rights being limited.
About the bet - You're saying Carmel PD does not have any "diversity" programs/outreach and is not committed to "diverse" hiring?
About "white privilege" - I gave you some actual examples of black privilege. Give me some actual examples of "white privilege" and I'll answer you.
So at this point, the only significant results I see from all of this are:
1. New resentments that either didn't exist before or are worse now;
2. Lagging revenue streams for the NFL and related concerns; and
3. A previously unknown to me (and probably a lot of others) football player with a failing career is now famous.
He'll get to put his name a on a book that his agent hires someone to write for him and he'll get to make a lot money at speaking engagements for years to come.
Not seeing how anyone else benefits from all of this. The alleged cause? Not seeing it, or how this helps. Any problems that do exist among people will be exacerbated by this if anything.
What a douche bag.
Ok, so to be clear, you're saying that any law that has a disparate impact on a particular group is "racist"?
Yes, it DOES exist, but it is definately a TWO WAY STREET!!! I interviewed for a job in Indy, and was told by the company's owner that he ONLY hired blacks. He said "why should I even consider hiring you?". Before he even looked at my qualifications (which he didn't even bother to do) I was judged solely by my skin color.
I'm not sure how far you'll get in trying to get anyone to admit to "white privilege". While I believe the concept is true, the name is dumb and confrontational.
I still don't have a good alternative.
I have told on MULTIPLE occasions that racism is only white on black, blacks cannot be racist but can only be the victims of racism.
Those people that told me that were themselves black. With that kind of sentiment I doubt seriously if racism, real or perceived will ever truly die.
That is patently false.
Nope, there's no program... nor any directive to "try and hire" minorities.
And you don't get to turn a question around on me. I asked first, so if you please, answer if you believe if "white privilege" exists.
I disagree. Impgn America. America is a collective. Speaking generally, a negative issue that is of concern to some of us, should be a concern to to all. As for Kaepernick original protest and how he framed it, I think that was ill-advised. The statement you cited, he said after he sat on the bench during the anthem.... and after it was explained to him how it would be viewed by a military member, he modified his protest to a kneel, to show that he was not trying to dishonor those who served, but rather his is illustrating his dissatisfaction with the way America appears to be to him, and many other people, who don't have the stage that he has.
Kap's protests are, believe it or not, are better received than those of the civil rights movement of the 60s.
I once applied for a high paying job,in which my BIL was Ass.Plant Man.I spent more than 5 years waiting for my window.The starting position was a very hard job.It was designed to make or break you.For more than 5 years,the company could not permanently fill the minority position to reach it's quota..they would hire someone,but they would shortly afterwards quit.I was qualified and was next in line,but then the 5th year,I got a interview.A woman quit.I again was told they had to hire another minority.
No, I'm saying that the effects of the war on drugs, is institutional racism. I'm not giving you an open road to run with, given the wide latitude your post indicates.
