About BLM

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

systematic racism in the West is largely nothing but a work of their collective imaginations.

I hate to break it to you, but you're wrong. Wicked wrong.

I could suggest a few books if you'd be willing to read about the history of racism in the United States and how it still affects our systems of government, housing, etc.

How is this imagination?

"I'm concerned about voter registration in Mississippi,"  the commissioner wrote. "The blacks are having lots (of) events for voter registration. People in Mississippi have to get involved, too."

That was posted on Facebook by an election commissioner in Mississippi. Unless you can 1) make some hideously convoluted argument that she’s not differentiating between ‘the blacks’ and ‘people’, 2) can delude yourself that the comment isn’t racist, 3) imagine that she’s the only election commissioner in the US who feels this way, and 4) seriously believe that this view hasn’t impacted the elections she’s overseen in the last 20 years, then your claim that systemic racism is somehow imaginary doesn’t hold water.
