Is there a way for me to blend "Jarmak is right and probably the most sensible person in this thread" with "it's extremely lovely that this is so obviously a thing" cause that's kind of where I am atm

Yeah, it's easy. All you have to do is actually say why you think Jarmak is right, then defend it when people say why they think you're wrong.

I already said I didn't think one exists

edit: unless you're asking me how I plan on fixing the holistic social and economic racial disparity in the US, which is way outside the scope of this thread.

So, despite the well known and documented racial disparities that are caused by the current system, too bad so sad for black people affected by it?

I've been arguing since the very beginning that this was a second order effect and trying to implement a solution at this level would do more harm then good because of a lack of acceptable solutions. "Bad Faith" does not mean "Argument I don't like/know how to respond to"

Is your opinion that this is the best of all possible systems based on some kind of evidence, or is it possible that you are heavily invested personally in the current system (and are unlikely to ever be affected by it)?
