    Who determines who has systemic racism?

    The system.
    And the institutes

    Good to know that the Beavs are acknowledging their systemic racism. Getting a college scholarship sure seems to be a prime example of racism to me.

    "Amongst those leading the efforts include women’s soccer defender Maddy Ellsworth, who shared her experiences with systemic racism on the Talkin’ Beavers podcast in July. Ellsworth and midfielder Skylar Herrera have been at the forefront of making sure Black Lives Matter conversations continue with the soccer season halted."

    Courage would be giving up the Priviledge Scholarship you are no longer earning to an underprivileged youth

    I hate this politically correct BS. Of course real commitment and courage would be to shame yourself, give your schollie to a POC and then join a convent and repent for your sins. But this is just feel good Kabuki theater that ignores the real issues facing the black community and also the violence and communism behind the curtain of BLM and antifa.

    There's your answer folks. If you think their is a widespread racism then just join a convent. Stupid phuck.

    You missed the point dodo (big phucking surprise). I think if you feel guilt over your part in systemic racism, like not renting to section 8 renters, then you should do something real to repent. Not just have a kumbaya moment and then do nothing.

    What if you feel absolutely no guilt at all over it

    That's the boat I'm in. I had nothing to do with the death of George Floyd. Furthermore, there is nothing I can do about it. And it ain't silence that's the problem. It's illegitimacy and a culture that resists education and tolerates immense levels of drugs alcohol and crime. If reading to my kids is a sign of white privilege that I'm supposed to apologize for, then phuck that sh*t.

    Did they finally uncover the evidence that Floyd's death was caused by racism?

    Very strong feelings on that. No need to perform any actual factual analysis.

    Wouldn't it be great if some of these college educated young women could actually articulate and provide evidence and examples of this systemic racism that we're all trying to fight?


    I'm told that George Floyd was killed because of systemic racism but I can't even find any evidence that Floyd's skin color had anything to do with his death.

    It was that conservative government of Minnesota and Minneapolis that forced Floyd into a life of drug addiction and crime. He never had a chance. You should know that.

    Anyone actually take the time to listen to pod cast and the example of "systemic racism" these two college kids have faced? The kid from Liberia was coming out of a Waffle House in Colorado and someone drove by and yelled get off the street n-word with the hard R. His other example is that people have told him he is articulate.

    All of their examples of "systemic racism" consists entirely of people making rude comments to them. No one with any power or authority has done anything to hold them back or harm them on account of their race. Both of them are college athletes with benefits and advantages that few people have. But they are victims of "systemic racism" because some cracker made a racist comment to her in the grocery story in Corvalis

    I loved all the BLM flags flying from $2,000,000 homes on Queer Anne Hill.

    Look, I'm a trust fund child and/or I make $200,000 per year, but let me help out by virtue signaling.

    Black people are killed at a higher rate than their population. That's the evidence of systemic racism. And the don't go camping as much as whites. And the die in higher proportions from the vid. All things that racist whites cause because of the system.

    I read there is evidence of racism in lake Oswego because a black guy doesn't feel he can go jogging at night.

    Almost all examples of systemic racism I'm given are things that have happened to me as well. I just figured the other person was being an asshole, having a bad day, or there was a misunderstanding. In fact, something happened to me today that if happened to a black person without a doubt they would say it was racism.
