No, it leads to individuals committing racist acts….like the Mayor of Chicago refusing to answer questions from or interviews with white reporters.

The availability to obtain powder was much more difficult for blacks. Which is why they used and sold crack.
I will agree that maybe they weren’t written with racist intent.
But the end result was most definitely textbook systemic racism.
One race being incarcerated at an extremely high level compared to others who were given slaps on the wrist for the same drug just in different form.

Yes exactly.
And said acts can cause and encourage systemic racism.
If a police officer is racist and doesn’t like black people and commits a racist act and locks up someone who shouldn’t have (or you know shoots one by mistake in a raid or kneels on their neck and kills them) then that becomes systemic racism.

What pisses me off is the entire world is fuckn racist. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/feb/25/modern-slavery-trafficking-persons-one-in-200.
America is far better off in terms of racial equity by any measure. Still, you lefties want to tear it down. Not to right things, but institute a Marxist state or some other ulterior motive. When we do make progress, you are NEVER, EVER happy. Just a constant drumbeat to agitate the population beyond all recognition.

Wht are you talking about?
I don’t want to tear anything down.
does wanting equal rights for everyone under the law and to ensure fair treatment in the workforce, housing, and medical mean Marxism?
Everyone in the U.S. has that by law, regulations and policies.

Not necessarily true. Minorities are still disproportionately affected by certain policies.

Perhaps read it before hating it just because of the organizations.
what’s wrong with the United Nations?
the Paper has sources
Not interested. It’s content are a biased forgone conclusion fitting their “who are we statement” or they would not have published it.
Everything, but that’s a whole other thread.
Ever get the impression someone has gotten to the point that they are now just fucking with you to see how long you will continue to react?

No but I will admit that I got to the point that I was seeing how long I could keep you going...it's what I do when I have too much time on my hands...

I think that what you're missing is that your anecdote serves as a counter-point to everything you are trying to claim about systemic racism in the 21st century.
No one is denying that there are people alive today who had to deal with real, actual systemic racism. However, those policies were lifted in the 1960s and through the 1970s-1980s, equality became a thing guaranteed by law and actually enforced.
Your anecdote serves as evidence that those public policy changes were successful. Free from the shackles of institutional racism, you were able to become more successful than previous generations could ever imagine. You had to work hard because your parents were broke to make a better life...that's like, the American dream since it was a British colony.
Despite this, you claim that's not good enough and there continue to be systemic barriers to black people's success. That's where you lose everyone. What did you do that was so special that is nearly impossible for the rest of black Americans to do without a change in public policy?
Re: crime laws
The crack wave and inner city crime waves of the late 80s / early 90s is still studied by PhDs, and there's no consensus on why they occurred and why they got better. To distill it down to 'tough drug and crime laws are racist' is a lazy, and ultimately a racist argument in itself with little evidence to support it.

No one needs your outrage or protection. Minorities support voter I.D. more than whites.
It’s ludicrous and racist to imply that minorities don’t have ID to vote.
This is at least the second time I've said in this forum I am not specifically targeting voter ID, but laws carved specifically to hinder minorities - like the GA State requirement for names to match exactly in systems, yet knowing full well that DMVs couldn't process hyphens, or TX limiting ballot locations to a single spot per county, or keeping ballot drop off locations exlusively in majority white neighborhoods, reducing Sunday voting, and a host of other things.
Tell me the functional difference between explicit racist structures and implicit racist structures.
