Then I assume that they are talking about some sort of system that is racist and not an actor. If it was the latter the word power might be interpreted loosely enough to include a fist intended to land in someones face.

it doesn't help that the supreme court ruled that laws can only be struck down as racist when they were explicitly stated to be racist. so making the punishment for crack 100 times worse than for cocaine despite them being the same drug is not racist because the legislature didn't explicitly say it;s being made that way for racist reasons. even with very obviously racist outcomes, not only due to the law itself but enforcement of it (something like 99.7 percent of crack convictions are of black offenders despite the fact white people actually use and deal crack more than black people), the supreme court said laws like that can't be struck down.

also it's cool to strike off potential jurors as long as you give any excuse (like their hair was too long) even if it's really loving obvious you did it for racist reasons. the supreme court sucks a lot of rear end.

Hell it's even cool and good to re-segregate your schools!

quote:

A federal judge’s ruling this week that allows a predominantly white Alabama city to separate from its more diverse school district is stoking new debate about the fate of desegregation initiatives after decades of efforts to promote racial balance in public education.

Judge Madeline Haikala of the U.S. District Court in Birmingham ruled that the city of Gardendale’s effort to break away was motivated by race and sent messages of racial inferiority and exclusion that “assail the dignity of black schoolchildren.”

She also found that Gardendale failed to meet its legal burden to prove that its separation would not hinder desegregation in Jefferson County, which has been struggling to integrate its schools since black parents first sued for an equal education for their children in the 1960s.

Still, Haikala ruled Monday that Gardendale may move forward with the secession, basing her decision in part on sympathy for some parents who want local control over schools and in part on concern for black students caught in the middle. The judge wrote that she feared they would bear the blame if she blocked the city’s bid.
...
The judge offered a blistering critique of those who organized Gardendale’s effort to split from the county system. Pointing to Facebook posts and public statements, Haikala concluded that they clearly saw secession as a way to control the demographics of city schools, erecting a barrier to black students who transferred from other parts of the county.
...
The flier, bearing an image of a white child, asked, “Which path will Gardendale choose?” It presented a choice: a list of racially integrated or predominantly black cities whose schools remain part of the Jefferson County system; or a list of predominantly white cities — “some of the best places to live in the country,” the flier said — whose schools have broken away over the years.
Judge: Mostly white Southern city may secede from school district despite racial motive

Sorry if it's not 100% relevant, I read about this a while ago and was straight up struck dumb by how brazen re-segregation was being given the a-okay.

Oh, I get it. Unless someone self-identifies as a racist/sexist/homophobic, it's wrong to call them out as racist/sexist/homophobic. No matter how many racist talking points they parrot, no matter how dishonest his arguments about 'problems with black culture', no matter how often they side against people of colour on matters of police brutality, no matter how often they deny the importance of feminism and low-key advocate harassing feminists, no matter how many times they laugh in the face of victims of rape, no matter how many times they imply mass shooters are 'because of feminists'... Nope. The benefit of the doubt must always be given to the accused until they say the n-word or call someone a human being or literally say 'women are less valuable than men'. Hell, Sargon can even defend someone making the latter claim and people will jump to his defense.

Turns out the only thing Hitler did wrong was openly admitting he hated Jews. And calling them bad names I suppose.. The philosophy, the ethos, the actions don't matter!

I want you to understand something: you are a garbage person. Even if you're trolling, you are a garbage person. To even ironically defend Sargon, who laughed while Kristi described a rape scenario during their debate, and he, when asked what analytical framework would replace feminism, said "I don't know, I don't care." He is not interested in constructive dialogue. His is a misogynist and a racist (see the support from the EDL).

You defending this man in any capacity allies you with a man who found rape funny.

I don't want to defend him, but the way I interpreted that part of the debate wasn't him laughing at rape so much as being a man-child and laughing at the mentioning of dried semen and penises, though he clearly doesn't take it seriously.

My understanding is that this is an academic definition of racism, and social scientists have suggested people use more commonplace definitions of racism for lay discussion. In my lay conversations and teaching, I encourage groups to address these ideas of systemic inequality, systemic racism, and white supremacy, and write terminology/definitions to further conversation and facilitate flexible conversation and deeper understanding.

:eng101: Anthropological definition actually!

But to answer your question, people tend to use it as a catch-all term which describes the type of power based on the context of the discussion. I think (or at least this has been my experience) academics usually prefer to use a more specific phrase to discuss an issue, so for instance an economist would probably not use the word racism to talk about economic issues among minorities, they would instead us "economic inequality". But, when it comes time to talk about the source of these sorts of issues, academics readily identify racism/racial prejudice/whathaveyou as the underlying reason they came to be. The same economist would probably talk about history of economic inequality, and racism would certainly be fingered as one of the reasons it's present in society.

So in short: among laypeople it's used as a shot-hand for all sorts of power. Among academic writing (again, from my experience) it's usually used as "prejudice based on race and nationality which has led to numerous problems in society"

Fine here's an easy one. Watch Sargon correctly ID that African American crime is primarily motivated by poverty, and then turn around to blame that poverty on "matriarchal households" and "gang culture". This very conclusion is racist. Thus Sargon is racist. He comes this close to realizing that institutional racism exists, but his own racism makes him unable to understand.

This is more or less this process in every video. There isn't any real need to prove this because watching any given video of his makes it self evident. Yet you keep asking for proof. Which is either proof you don't watch his videos or you're arguing knowingly in bad faith.

This conclusion is a loving fossil. It's from the Moynihan Report which is basically discredited by every reputable academic, and is used as a case study of what victim-blaming racism looks like.
