Let me make sure I understand your post. A white lady is saying that since she has never experienced systemic bias, it must not exist. You know, that may be the exact proof that systemic bias exists.
Might I suggest you go up to a black person and ask them if they have ever experienced bias, or racism. Then listen very carefully. A bunch of white people sitting around a table discussing that there is no systemic bias proves there is systemic bias.
Go listen to other people outside of your own race and listen to what they have to say. That maybe outside of your comfort zone, but that is the only way you will know about it.

She can think for herself and make her own evaluations, She doesn't need to talk to a person of color about anything unless she chooses to? I'm sure her opinions are just a valid as any person of whatever color. The human experience is really, very common.
You have missed the greatness of our nation. You can be born in the front of the line and most chances are you will fall lower. Start in the middle, you can go either way, up or down. Start on the bottom and there is only one direction, up. No one has a call on their color, their parents, or where they are born. That's all up to God. He knows you, He created you, and He knows you can handle it. That why He put you there. To make a difference. He promises you He'll never give you anything you and Him can't handle. He even sent His Son to make a way of escape. I have it on a good authority He was a person of color. Not white and not black, maybe mahogany but tan, maybe very tanned.
Which one I don't know and you don't either. Being black or white doesn't make you better. It's just a different paint job on the same basic model. It only comes in two models, male or female.
Love God and love one another. That's the entire gospel in a nutshell. I kept it simple because you're a Marine. You don't need a lot of fluff. An AF brother.
They can tell you if they met racists which they probably did.
It had nothing to do with institutional, fundamental or structural racism in this country

Post one law or regulation that is racist.
Affirmative Shopping. You can get away with it only if you are black.
That's racist.

I see you don't grasp the black experience.
So you overcame racism. Wow, good for you.
A person does not overcome systemic racism. The racism isn't their fault, it's built into the system, in all aspects of living. So you are a Russian jew who experienced some forms of racism. THAT IS NOT SYSTEMIC RACISM.
We all experience some biases in life. What white people don't experience is systemic racism. For you to draw the conclusion that there is no systemic racism in the US is a stupid conclusion.
Like I said before, go outside your little bubble and talk to black people. If you can honestly say that you did, then you won't sound so stupid.
I think that once to talk to black people, and they tell you about the systemic racism they live with on a daily basis, you will reach a different conclusion.

Then you will understand the need for white guilt and black victim hood. That way you can help keep blacks from ever being equal. Marinvet73 you, like the Democrat Party are who are holding blacks down. But you are losing, because there is a growing black middle class. Judge people by their character, not the color of their skin. Check their character by how they accept responsibility for their own actions.

The bias mostly comes from the FACT that blacks are 13% of the population. The black women take care of the children the black men don't support. The men, besides not supporting their children are responsible for over 50% of violent crime. Look up the stats. 6.5 % of the population is responsible for over 50% of the violent crime. Yes, black lives matter but it appears that the only black lives that really matter are the ones taken by non blacks. Blacks murder each other at rates that are shocking but that doesn't bother them. Yet somehow they feel that defunding the police will make it all better. The logic totally escapes me. It looks like the black community just want the police gone so they can increase their violence. It makes zero sense.
How come no one. Absolutely nobody will admit this or address it or debate it?
