Is there such thing as racism in America?🤔?

[spiritGirl13]

Explain why

My answer: Hell No and I’m black.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Yes, there is racism in america.


You’re lucky to’ve gone this long without experiencing it yourself.


Go to where the rednecks live if you want to find out…. but seriously don’t because they honestly might try to murder you just for being a different color than them.

[TotallyAlmost]

You sound like a racist. You don't even know what a red neck is.

[spiritGirl13]

Rednecks are the most honest people I’ve ever known.

[TotallyAlmost]

Of course. Salt of the earth.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Not the rednecks around here.

They fly the confederate flag, talk about being part of the KKK and are very well known to target black individuals in instances of violent crime.

You seem to be confusing southerners with rednecks.

[TotallyAlmost]

No I'm not.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Then you haven’t met northern rednecks.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I know a rabbi from Florida who claims to be a redneck. He’s pretty honest, but with weird theories/notions/ideas.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

He knows racism in the Confederate States of America.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I also met a redneck in NYC, who’s Dominican White.

[Guy13]

People have preferences and act upon them. Sometimes those actions target a specific group repeatedly. This can be wrong.
Unholy or unkind preferences not acted upon is someone with an opinion. Everyone has one and a right to voice it. If there is racism then it is across the board. Everyone has their groups of people that they like and dislike. This is life and not a plague.

[jshm2]

Then you are a fucking imbecile.

You also lack the understanding and education to understand what the word "racism" means- let alone it's issues.

[samuluaa]

Racism probably exists in most or maybe even all countries

[spiritGirl13]

Do you have an example of what racism is?

[samuluaa]

Racism means treating a person baldly because of their skin colour or race.

[Kaneki05]

Racism is exists everywhere so obviously and America literally enslaved people into their new founded country and African Americans only exist because of racism.
So you are obviously wrong.

[spiritGirl13]

I love to say it but that’s not racism 😭 it was just what it was at that time. Give me a real example.

[Kaneki05]

Sure it wasn't. That's why black people won't called devils just for simply having black skin, not racism at all yep your right.

[spiritGirl13]

“Won’t called devils “ I don’t understand

[Kaneki05]

You need to go back to school then.

[spiritGirl13]

😭I’m good , schools are ones the ones lying about this stuff.

[Kaneki05]

Yes they made up slavery it never existed and racism they came up with it all by themselves just to make us white people look bad even though themselves who started the schools were white but sure that makes sense.
You are a very smart person.

[Soteris]

USA is literally one of the most, if not THE most racist countries in the "west". You even have institutional racism such as actual racist laws. More specifically the 1994 crime bill as an example.

[spiritGirl13]

Wow really if that was the case there wouldn’t be any blacks or other races other than white

[spiritGirl13]

Plus America was the first country to stop slavery and establish freedom for all. While countries till this day still have slavery going on

[spiritGirl13]

^^ just wanted to say that maybe a little off topic

[Soteris]

USA was not the first country to stop slavery, in fact USA still perform state sanctioned slavery to this day through the prison loophole in the 13th amendment in the constitution. Furthermore, slavery has been on and off for literally the entire human history with countless countries and states banning slavery and then allowing it again.

More relevantly though, Britain bans slaves the year before USA "Officially" does (with the exception of the prison system).

And again, there would still be other races even if there is racism.

[Msputiton]

America was not the first in fact if we never succeeded from England slavery would've end much earlier. And the laws in place after slavery that was actually separate laws for white and black people.
So are you actually a white person trying to start something or just been completely lied to about us history?

[OfMiceandMen]

I would say, most definitely. One would have to have blinders on not to see it. It is prevalent in a lot of television and online media.

My head may be in the stars, but, I would hope racists represent a much smaller portion of the overall population in America.

[Dargil]

There are intolerant pockets. I live near one, which is fading. Sand Mountain, GA. Decades ago, my whole region was full of it. But not now. There are a few Confederate Battle Jacks around, but they more symbolize rebellion against Wokism and not racial division. Where I live, you could go anywhere.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Yes, in USA, CSA, and Brasil. I’ve met three racist lasses in New Jersey, who were biased to every race but White, Muslims, Roma, Dharmics, and they even loved Hitler for his Black hate. Many even reckon Dönald Trumpf ist racist.

If You see no racism, I’m very glad.

[gorydetails]

There’s so little racism that minorities have to fake hate crimes.

[spiritGirl13]

I agree. They want to make it seems that it’s that way when it’s not.

[ChillaxingLove]

Of course there is. We are the most diverse nation in the world, it’s unavoidable. Is it prolific like it was in the 1900’s -1950s? No it was way worse. It’s not in your face, it’s more subtle and less common, but it’s definitely still there.

[slatyb]

Absolutely, it's very common. An attendant at an Oregon gas station refused to serve a Black customer. She won a $1 million dollar judgment against the corporation that owned the station.

[spiritGirl13]

You sure that’s racism, sounds like pettiness to me

[slatyb]

The attendant stated "I don't serve black people." That's the very definition of racism.

[loveslongnails]

Nice troll. Were you bored and looking for the stupidest thing you could find to say to stir something up, or are you going to tell us why there IS no such thing as racism in America. Please, educate me.

[KostasKouvalis]

There IS, every country especially with such a large population is gonna have racists. But if you're talking about racism on an institutional level, absolutely not.

[SnoopBean9110]

Yes and no. It depends on who. White is recognized as “normal” around 100 years ago. It really depends. I’m white and because I’m a catholic, I’m not racist.

[PatriceONeal]

There's racism everywhere but America is the last place you should look. America were the ones who fought against and ended slavery..

[BJP21]

Depends on where you live, it does still exist.

[badboy-hey]

It's everywhere in one form or another.

[spiritGirl13]

Example?

[TotallyAlmost]

Yes. Liberal and progressive virtue signalers do everything they can to manufacture racism.

[SmokinAces2000]

“Explain why” you must be willfully ignorant or have lived a very sheltered life

[OddBeMe]

Uhg! Racism! Here in the US! Inconceivable!

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Are you Vizzini?

[OddBeMe]

@HippieVeganJewslim oh is that the bald guy? Then yes. Racism does exist. Always will.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Always will until there would be no races, but there would probably be other types of bias, like on religion, sex, class, height, hair, tattooing, etc.

[OddBeMe]

@HippieVeganJewslim true, but race has been proven to be not real, yet still lives on….

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Aye, I don’t believe in races, because H s sapiens is taxonomically one race. Another race of the same species is the Neanderthals, which, sadly, went extinct. Many Black people ain’t 100% Black, so many of the humans are Mulattoes.

[OddBeMe]

@HippieVeganJewslim "race" isn't a scientific term. its societal.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Social, You mean? In which case, anyone can define their own race like that. I’m part Mulatto, part albino, with libido injected by a mosquito, oy. Would ‘race’ the scientific term be infraspecies or subrace?

[OddBeMe]

@HippieVeganJewslim both are synoymns but sure. Don’t know what crazy crap your list “oys” mean. But race is basically in our heads:

“Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society.”

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I said oy just once. Many Ashkenazim say oy.
