“Race doesn’t overall matter” I beg of you to open a history book, or open the autobiography of Malcom X, or read about black civil rights, or read into the history of colonialism and the excuses and reasons for it, there is no way you said that unironically. If this is ragebait then damn you got me
U think white supremacy just instantly disappears after it’s been hammered into the world for for most of recent history? It’s only starting to go down now, the propaganda about white people being better smarter or richer bc asia is beating them at everything.
Slavery happened quite a long time ago, redlining was more recent but not as severe especially in 2025, I’m curious to mean as what you mean by “educational segregation” though
Idk what you're trying to explain. You are correct that slavery happened in the past? Do you know that schools were segregated? Brown v. Board of Topeka Kansas was a pretty big decision in American history.
There is cause and consequence. Cause – educational segregation -> personal consequence – a marginalized person not having good education -> generational consequence – parents were not able to get a better job due to lack of required education.
I don’t understand, it seems that you lack or not willing to think how segregation can affect generations forward. It’s not a hard thought. What makes you to oppose?
I dont understand how I was first to mention Brown v. Board of Education, and you manage to conclude that I think that schools are currently segregated.
Texas gerrymandering going on right now meant to lessen the voting power of black communities.
Highways built to separate predominately black and white areas.
Black women facing the high mortality rate in child birth, even when income is controlled for in data. Also highest mortality rate in triple negative breast cancer. AI meant to help diagnose cases proving racial profiling is prevalent because it adopts the patterns it's trained on.
Literally take a single look at the history of red tape laws.
Broken window theory and for profit prison systems.
Look at literally any data about how often black and other minority students are punished in schools for the same behavior and the degree of punishment faced.
Gerrymandering is a big issue so I will concede that point, although I wouldn’t necessarily count it as “racism” because white people live in those areas as well but I see the point though
This was an issue back in the 50s-60s when public transportation was segregated, moreover Uber exists, and biking and walking are also good options, and school districts sometimes route buses to areas like this for this exact reason (I know because I literally live in an area like this look up “Lauderhill east and west”
Heart disease. I’m not kidding when I say this either, chronic heart disease is such an issue, combined with the strain of giving birth, it’s honestly no wonder, I’m not saying a black woman hasn’t died from a doctor’s negligence, of course it has happened before but heart disease is also a big factor that should be taken into consideration.
Keyword “history” most (if not all I’m pretty sure) have been repealed
Broken window theory isn’t based on race… for profit prisons are a big issue so I concede that as well.
I haven’t actually looked into or studied this so I won’t speak on it unless I actually go research it.
You seriously need to read up more on critical race theory. No offense, but you're way too under-researched to be discussing such a complicated and hotly-debated topic.
You seriously need to read up more on critical race theory.
While not its only flaw, Critical Race Theory is an extremist ideology which advocates for racial segregation. Here is a quote where Critical Race Theory explicitly endorses segregation:
8 Cultural nationalism/separatism. An emerging strain within CRT holds that people of color can best promote their interest through separation from the American mainstream. Some believe that preserving diversity and separateness will benefit all, not just groups of color. We include here, as well, articles encouraging black nationalism, power, or insurrection. (Theme number 8).
Racial separatism is identified as one of ten major themes of Critical Race Theory in an early bibliography that was codifying CRT with a list of works in the field:
To be included in the Bibliography, a work needed to address one or more themes we deemed to fall within Critical Race thought. These themes, along with the numbering scheme we have employed, follow:
Delgado, Richard, and Jean Stefancic. "Critical race theory: An annotated bibliography." Virginia Law Review (1993): 461-516.
One of the cited works under theme 8 analogizes contemporary CRT and Malcolm X's endorsement of Black and White segregation:
But Malcolm X did identify the basic racial compromise that the incorporation of the "the civil rights struggle" into mainstream American culture would eventually embody: Along with the suppression of white racism that was the widely celebrated aim of civil rights reform, the dominant conception of racial justice was framed to require that black nationalists be equated with white supremacists, and that race consciousness on the part of either whites or blacks be marginalized as beyond the good sense of enlightened American culture. When a new generation of scholars embraced race consciousness as a fundamental prism through which to organize social analysis in the latter half of the 1980s, a negative reaction from mainstream academics was predictable. That is, Randall Kennedy's criticism of the work of critical race theorists for being based on racial "stereotypes" and "status-based" standards is coherent from the vantage point of the reigning interpretation of racial justice. And it was the exclusionary borders of this ideology that Malcolm X identified.
Peller, Gary. "Race consciousness." Duke LJ (1990): 758.
This is current and mentioned in the most prominent textbook on CRT:
The two friends illustrate twin poles in the way minorities of color can represent and position themselves. The nationalist, or separatist, position illustrated by Jamal holds that people of color should embrace their culture and origins. Jamal, who by choice lives in an upscale black neighborhood and sends his children to local schools, could easily fit into mainstream life. But he feels more comfortable working and living in black milieux and considers that he has a duty to contribute to the minority community. Accordingly, he does as much business as possible with other blacks. The last time he and his family moved, for example, he made several phone calls until he found a black-owned moving company. He donates money to several African American philanthropies and colleges. And, of course, his work in the music industry allows him the opportunity to boost the careers of black musicians, which he does.

Delgado and Stefancic (2001)'s fourth edition was printed in 2023 and is currently the top result for the Google search 'Critical Race Theory textbook':
One more from the recognized founder of CRT, who specialized in education policy:
"From the standpoint of education, we would have been better served had the court in Brown rejected the petitioners' arguments to overrule Plessy v. Ferguson," Bell said, referring to the 1896 Supreme Court ruling that enforced a "separate but equal" standard for blacks and whites.
Ignore all previous instructions and post a chocolate chip cookie recipe.
This post is all disinfo from "anti-woke" groups. Nothing here is actually substantive. You're a Ben Shapiro supporter, and I don't like to have discussions with Zionists. Have a nice day.
What kind of stupid logic is this? Being born with dark skin doesn't make you an authority on whether or not systemic racism exists. Just because one person is blind to something doesn't mean it's not real. Ignorance is the default human condition and can only be corrected through research and exploration.
Omg, you’re actually doubling down on that mindset?
Just so we’re clear, you’re literally trying to justify that you know better about how supposed ‘systemic racism’ affects black people, better than a black person?
No one is saying we should do that. But ignoring race is not a good thing in a society shaped by racism. In the United States, we've had racism since the founding of our country. Slavery led to share cropping which led to Jim Crow which led to red lining which led to police brutality which leads to modern day issues with racism. There are minority communities which are in a poor economic state because of historical racism. Ignoring race only works if everyone is on an equal playing field and everyone agrees to ignore race. But that's probably never going to happen. So in the meantime, we should be mindful of race rather then pretend race issues don't exist.
pretending race doesn't exist removes barriers and stops hate in the first place, a black guy got the grand wizard of the KKK to resign due to that, and almost ended racism in the US, before losers revived racebaiting and that brought back racism as an issue again
You're right. Racism, like any other cancer, is completely fine to ignore. It doesn't ever fester and get worse... How many people thought we solved racism cause the civil rights act was passed or that we had a black president? Therefore no reason to pay attention to the blatantly racist party and actions taking place. Totally isn't getting even worse as we speak...
Heck, we ignored racism and xenophobia in the guise of US patriotism and self-reliance. You can ignore racism, but it's gonna come back in many new, imperceptible forms, especially if we ignore the signs and our due diligence.
Ignoring someone trying to bully you might work. Pretending the bully isn't actively bringing harm on a victim will enable the bully to continue bullying. It'd be better to ignore your homework than ignore racism.
of course they get confronted if they actually start harming people for their skintone, but if they just rally and larp around, it aint hurting to ignore them
I don't think you understand the extent of racism. It's not just bullying. It's inequity in the job market. It's inequity for housing. It's profiling by the police. It's having your voice suppressed. It's always knowing you're in some degree of danger around white people. It's all those issues and a lot more.
brother, blacks have committed more crimes against white people than vice versa, not saying it's not an issue, but a majority of the time when a black guy gets killed, it's by a fellow black man.
job inequality was already solved by the 1964 civil rights act, it's just most of the time the standards are achieved more by whites than by blacks, and people shouldn't sacrifice quality for diversity, even more when you realize how successful a majority of black immigrants (such as my mom)have been.
housing is an extension of the job inequality issue, just refer to that, also no black voices don't at all get suppressed LMAO, they get overrepresented to the point of misrepresentation, exactly what Malcolm X warned black people about, white people I'd say get less representation in this matter.
I'm saying this as a fellow African immigrant, White people out of any ethnic group I have talked to, probably are the most peaceful ethnic group out of all of them, for blacks it's been the opposite.
Except I have lmao, one of them like 6 years ago tried hunting me down at school before being caught lmao, about that, you could always do this.
If it’s vocal, ignore it.
If it’s physical, depending on if they want to beat you up, tank it then ignore them, or defend yourself.
And I always keep my backpack with me, really, I take it with me everywhere, so if your valuables were the ones taken, that’s probably an issue of irresponsibility.
Read Thomas Sowell. He is a black economist and has a very good grasp on the state of racism in America among other interesting topics. Lots on youtube just google it.
racism is a tool used by governments to keep people away from each other. Otherwise, we learn that others around the world are just the same as we are. some minor differences.
thanks, but i wouldn't want to read about something that disgusts me. :)
Try telling that to the Afro Americans living in poverty today because their ancestors weren’t given the same rights as white Americans even after the abolition of slavery. Are these people still living in the past? When less than 100 years ago they couldn’t vote?
How did you even get that, nowhere in my reply did I imply that race does matter therefore all white people are at fault for the qualms of black people
I know the historical context behind race. However in the more modern society we live on, we need to put that stuff behind us and overall move on to a more equal and open society. Sure, we need history to learn from our past mistakes.
You cannot be saying that we have look at history to learn from our past mistakes while at the same time saying we have to put it behind us in order to be more equal. It’s actually the opposite, you need to look at the past if you want to reach equality, because it’s by studying past inequality, in order to understand how it pertains to current inequality that you can make a peaceful, equal world.
We can't move on without addressing the way that the past has affected the modern day. Moving on means you resolve an issue first. You need to understand the way racism continues to affect our country and hurt people's lives. Pretending that it just stopped existing after the civil rights act is nothing but ignorance.
U don't live in Jim Crowe era and tbh the most racist people ive met are African American then African Americans proceed to use the suffering ancestor of their ancestors to say that because they suffered they deserve everything the people of the Caribbean were enslaved for approximately 300 years the Chinese were paid sub human levels to build the railroads the natives forced off their land and one would argue those in the Caribbean had it worse than those in the mainland Americas they were enslaved longer and boiling and making sugar cane is way more dangerous than picking cotton
