Is tolerance intolerant?

[bennyboy]

Just look at bennyboy's response to your post, and you will see why I worded it the way I did. He really doesn't think it has anything to do with systemic discrimination, and blames black people for the situation they're in.

Note that while I will admit it wasn't the best wording what I said,  I was still careful enough to include the key word "more", thus implying that it wasn't an either/or situation but that systemic racism is something to be emphasized here.

When you're looking at causality, you have to decide what scope to focus on. Obviously, if some dude gets arrested, and his kid has no dad around, this puts the kid at a disadvantage-- that's the dad's fault. However, if you consider that the dad had no clear path to success, because of a lack of education-- then ultimately, it must go toward the bad handling of the abolition of slavery, or to the fact of slavery itself.

But you think the main driver is active racism, and that simply isn't true. Do you think colleges wouldn't be absolutely thrilled if a black Einstein showed up? Of course they would.

Among those questions, please tell me which ones are intrinsically biased against black people? I'm not seeing a lot of questions about the best way to eat strudel or about how to do the hokie-pokie.
