Social engineering doesn't work anymore.
There needs to be a balance.
What does this dog whistle even mean?
Root out discrimination anywhere, especially with home mortgages, but stop the corporate shakedowns. You don't have to hire people because of skin color, it should be because of work ethic, with any race.
It's not a dog whistle. Social engineering doesn't really work.
We are all equal.
Don't be obtuse. Social engineering is what the US was founded on, and has practiced for decades. The idea that minorities are inferior is social engineering - ensuring that corporations and universities account for that is not. Pretending it's the other way around is willful ignorance.
We are all equal in the way how we can have opportunities, but it is the way how people conduct themselves is how they become successful.
Mass incarceration is a big problem, those wrongly put in jail should be freed, but murderers and rapists should be punished forever.
Education is a big issue as well. If inner city students don't feel the need to learn (some of them), same goes with rural white children, who will hold their hands to do it?
No, we are absolutely
not equal in the opportunities afforded to white and black people. Those graphs disproved your point before you made it.
For instance, white people and black people use illegal drugs at about the same rate (
9.5% of whites, 10.5% of black people, which means that there are waaaaaay more white people using drugs than black people), yet black people are
12 times more likely to be arrested for drug use. You cannot tell me that is equality.
People in "inner cities" don't do worse in school because they're lazy, they do worse in school because their schools aren't properly funded...
I'm a millennial and it's not even in my top three for concerns.
I don't believe in reverse racism but apparently reverse virtue signaling is a thing now...
good. why the heck is there still racial inequality? it affects economic and health care outcomes too. racial disparities are everywhere!
Yes, why, in 2018, are
black women three times more likely to die in childbirth than white women? It's disgusting. Racial discrimination is, in some cases, literally a matter of life and death. But no, I'm only supposed to care about the economy and healthcare as it pertains to me, because apparently many don't value caring about other people any more...
When they don't get their dream job, it's because of their race or gender, and not because of their lack of experience, work ethic, minimal credentials, or the neck tattoo that their older prospective boss isn't exactly into.
Literally the only people I have ever heard articulate that thought are white Trump supporters, anywhere from ages 16-60. They'll whine when they didn't get a promotion or acceptance into a college or work program they felt they deserved, because some minority they felt was beneath them got it instead due to affirmative action. Never mind the fact that said minority was, in each and every case, just as qualified (if not more so) than the aforementioned Trump supporters...
