‘Racial disparity’ has morphed almost imperceptibly into r****m

The claim that America’s awash in s******c r****m is made and repeated as an unassailable fact. It’s repeated casually as if everyone concedes its veracity.
The term is ubiquitous in news and social media. Politicians invoke it daily, if not hourly. Corporations spend upwards of $10,000 an hour for lessons on how to eliminate their own purported systemic, institutional r****m. Lately, it seems as if schools and colleges are dev**ed to teaching little else.
It’s now axiomatic that systemic, structural or institutional r****m accounts for almost all disparities between the races, whether in educational achievement, employment rates, income gaps, crime rates or health. Individual behavior, family structure, perverse governmental policies and culture have little or nothing to do with such disparities, and to contend otherwise is itself a manifestation of s******c r****m — a convenient and politically expedient canard.
The allegation of pervasive s******c r****m, as that term is used by politicians, media, academics and woke mobs, is not merely false — it’s a lie. Almost everyone knows it, but few are willing to say it for fear of being labeled r****t, getting canceled and/or becoming unemployed. So the lie persists, grows and metastasizes.
In reality, a massive, multi-billion-dollar apparatus exists to identify and eliminate systemic, structural, institutional and individual discrimination. That apparatus has existed for more than half a century and continues to expand.
It consists of, inter alia, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Education, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the FBI, state civil-rights commissions, local human-rights commissions, state attorneys general, and tens of thousands of investigators, enforcement and compliance officers, local prosecutors and private attorneys who enforce a sprawling framework of civil-rights and equal-opportunity laws. These laws include, but are not limited to, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Sections 1981, 1982 and 1983 of the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment, the Fair Housing Act, the V****g Rights Act, and thousands of state and local equal-opportunity and anti-discrimination laws. This mammoth regime doesn’t even include the tens of thousands of human-resource officers and diversity and inclusion personnel who guard against systemic/structural r****m within their respective institutions.
Indeed, in large part because of this massive framework, there is considerable s******c r****m, but going in the direction opposite what is conventionally claimed.
For more than half a century, college-admissions offices have discriminated against w****s in favor of B****s. More recently, the discrimination has expanded in favor of Hispanics and to disfavor Asians.
The discrimination is pervasive and profound. At some schools, Black applicants are up to 500 times more likely to be admitted than similarly situated white comparators. A similar dynamic prevails in the workplace. Corporations and law firms compete furiously to get and to retain Black and Hispanic employees whose objective qualifications are lower than those of w****s and Asians. Employers go through exhaustive gymnastics to avoid disciplining or discharging underperforming minority employees.
The regnant claim that B****s are disproportionately k**led by cops also is false. B****s are actually underrepresented in police shootings based on Black overrepresentation in crime. For example, while B****s are twice as likely as w****s to be shot by cops, B****s are nearly seven times more likely than w****s to commit murder.
B****s are disproportionately k**led by other B****s. Consider, for example, data from the FBI Uniform Crime report. In 2018, 2,925 B****s were murdered. Where the identities of the victims and murderers were immediately known, 2,600 B****s k**led other B****s. In 2019, 13 unarmed B****s were fatally shot by cops.
“Racial disparity” has morphed almost imperceptibly into r****m. That’s significant — and from a public-policy perspective, dangerous — c***t. In 2018, 1,354,313 men were incarcerated in state and federal prisons. In contrast, only 110,845 women were incarcerated. If racial disparities are proof of s******c r****m, then the disparity in incarceration rates must be proof of systemic sexism in the penal system. So for purposes of “equity,” more than a million male prisoners should be released.
Whenever you hear the terms systemic/structural/institutional r****m, white privilege, implicit bias, disparity, equity, intersectionality, and anti-r****m, there’s a fair probability that imbecility, mendacity and mischief will follow. And, invariably, political opportunism.

R****m is big business, and the pot can be stirred up at any time in order to reap the prophets. Democrats learned from the best. Al Sharpton is a great professor on this subject with a lot of Graduates under his wing.

I think this is different than the structural R****m that is already built into black life in America.

"...structural r****m that is already built into black life in America"? What does that mean?
That b****s can also be r****t against w****s. There is less r****m in the United States than any other country and we are the most multiculrural society. if they spent half as much energy on trying to educate and improve themselves, instead of always looking for someone or something to blame for their own failures, they would be very successful.

Black l*****t criminality is very hard to erradicate. It exists in all l*****t b****s dna and like the extreme islamists will never be content to live in a moral, just and decent country. The only solution seems to be that of sending them back to Afrika to their country of origin.

One need not look too far past our black l*****t demorat leadership to see who is r****t and who foments r****m. John Lewis, Maxine Waters, Al Green, Sheila Jackass Lee, Elijah Cummings are just a few of the black r****ts in the demorat party. It is in vogue to be a black r****t. Throw in the NFL, NBA, Black hollyweird crowd, Black rappers, spook lee, orca Winfrey, Danny Glover, Harry bellafonte, whoopie goldberg, the black congressional caucus, al sharpton, jessie Jackson and we can see how sick these black l*****ts are.

What is really worse is those mentioned have no cognitive thought process at all. You missed Johnson of Georgia. He was even worried about the population of Guam being too heavy and sinking the island!!!

Hank Johnson is a big loser. Thinks Guam will tip over if too many people congregate on the tip of the island. He didn't pass Ocean Formation and Volcanic activity science classes.

SO TRUE! The r****m cry has only intensified since all of these bureaucracies & mechanisms to attempt to away with it have multiplied! It has become a full blown INDUSTRY & with every "so-called" r****t incident, it grows even larger like what has recently happened!
Yet, black women continue to abort from 40-47% of their pregnancies, over 1,000 almost everyday, far more than any other race. If they truly wanted to improve their status in society, why is this happening? Obviously all of the above named agencies and taxpayer monies thrown at this problem is NOT WORKING!
The r****m problem is far deeper than any "r********ns" could ever solve, that would only be a band-aid on an open wound! The Democratic party is using r****m as a tool, their cries for "social justice" are hollow and NEVER produce justice only victimhood! Our education system could be the key, but NOT under it's present structure & ideology! The alienation & destruction of religion in this country has certainly been a continuing factor.
We need to be more OPEN and FRANK with our discussions and more T***HFUL about the political realities involved. Conservatives MUST quit cowering under fear of the word "R****T"! Liberals SHOULD quit using that same word as a TOOL of FEAR!
Do BLACK L***S M****R...of course they do...but B****S do NOT hold an exclusive on the word LIFE!
ALL L***S M****R or NO L***S M****R!

More and more I'm seeing that the biggest/worst r****ts are the black leaders.
I guess it's good for business.....keeps them in power.
There is a commercial with a little white boy pushing a little black boy in a cart
and they're having a ball. Politicians and race mongers, take note. Shut up
and let kids like these grow up WITHOUT prejudice and we'll be okay.
