What are some example of systemic racism in NYC?
WickhamAkimbo t1_iryuoar wrote
There was a pretty steady stream of Asian people being attacked, assaulted, and murdered during the pandemic, but for some reason a large percentage of the sub was uncomfortable talking about that.
BiblioPhil t1_is0see5 wrote
No, this sub was pretty comfortable about it as long as it provided them an opportunity to denigrate all black people. Which is usually what those threads turned into--a bunch of Long Island cops suddenly caring about racial disparities for the first time ever.

I pointed out a systematic racist outcome in NYC that has one root cause in the performative bullshit culture.
And my comment got deleted by the mods, because it did not conform to the performative bullshit.

I can't stand the performances and they pretend that nyc has no racism issues but it reaks of racism.
drpvn OP t1_irxtuah wrote
Many—maybe most progressives these days—say that any statistical disparity in outcomes among groups of people who can be categorized by race is evidence of systemic racism.
fafalone t1_is0jket wrote
Proof*
It is evidence, as in a reason to examine if that's the case. But many progressives think it's absolute proof, end of story, and must immediately be rectified by explicit quotas rather than addressing any underlying issues.

I would say gentrification only bc we had to go through over a decade of landlords refusing to rent out to poc (with income and credit) and this reduced the voting power of poc as well bc the white vote took over some districts, even liberal ones can be harmful if they refuse to see real issues.

NYC has the most segregated school system in the country.

And Maury said that is a lie.

Well Maury should actually look at the results before opening his mouth.

Do you imply that NYC as a matter of policy segregates students? Which again Maury would say is a lie.
Rottimer t1_is6iwm7 wrote
I’m not implying anything. It’s just a fact, even if it makes people uncomfortable, that NYC is the most segregated school district in the country. I think some of that is due to voluntary actions by parents and some of that is due to DoE policies that influence which students can attend which schools. Even if it was 100% due to actions by parents, it indicates a problem.

Honestly I don’t believe the accuracy of the sources. I’ve been across this country there are some real regions that are all one type of community or another.

Lol no 400 years of colonialism and white supremacy are what's wrong with it. just because you whites are being called out on all this damage that you cause isn't bad. It's the world you built

Keep shooting yourself in the foot.
People like you are doing more to maintain inequity than the klan and similar groups at this point.
I don't know how you think you can embrace the idea of judging and penalizing based only on race and expect the majority to go along with using it to disadvantage themselves as retaliatory justice for something they had no part in.
And yes, it's clearly about revenge instead of equity. If you wanted equity, you could easily get sufficient buy in by race neutral benefits to the disadvantaged; it would disproportionately benefit POC because POC are disproportionately disadvantaged. But because you embrace the same ideas about race, that's not good enough. You can't stand the idea of not having some races get the short end of the stick, so you wind up empowering the political party promising to keep making sure white people don't.
Sometimes I wonder how many understand this and don't care, vs so blinded by self-righteousness they don't even see how they're undermining the very goal they profess.

Lol we're the ones responsible for rampant inequality and wealth hording by the oligarchs? And i don't support the idea of judging/penalizing based on race. But even if I was, are you telling me the Republicans are better in any way? You're just showing your ass and you want the status quo to remain what it is. And you're fear mongered to think these policies will be any worse than the system of oppression that already exists

And white people built a pretty damn good world that we get no credit for.
Barbacuda t1_is1byr0 wrote
Good for who? You literally destroyed entire cultures and continents. You exploited everywhere where now everything is output for capitalism. People can't afford to live or have families. People have no community or connection to nature. People grew up and we're able to live off the land back in my home country. Now that neoliberalism and capitalist exploitation has reached there everything is just a product to be consumed. Can tell you've never left your first world bubble
derekjeter3 t1_is45jv2 wrote
First world bubble that’s why everyone from 3rd world countries will literally break every rule to sneak into the USA or Europe
derekjeter3 t1_is45nie wrote
And how about this go back to the country where you came from and live off the land, leave the USA don’t use internet, don’t use your car don’t use electric/heat
Barbacuda t1_is47gmg wrote
You're ancestors aren't from here either. Their the reason 3rd world countries are stuck in a cycle of exploitation from their former colonizers. Go outside sometime, and not in your nice suburban neighborhood
