    Yes. I can agree with what you said here apart from the insults, but just to be clear here… You’re white, right?

      Systemic racism (in some individual states, apparently) is real, but isn’t a foundational, structural issue ig. There are “elements of systemic racism”… what? Like, without the “systemic” part? Ain’t the fact that there IS systemic racism definitionally that we do NOT have a fair judicial system?? He got pretty butthurt u called him out lol

      I knew you were going to do this, and I’m upset with myself for not calling you out on it in my original comment before you had the opportunity to go down this route. But then again, I thought to myself, perhaps I should just let you, and you’ve done exactly what I expected.

      So yes, as I originally stated, I am quite white.

      And thank you for bringing this up once again, since apparently you have absolutely nothing to rebut my argument with aside from pointing out the fact that I’m white. You’ve effectively admitted as much yourself.

      So I would encourage you to carefully reread the comments, reconsider your approach, and perhaps reassess the conclusions you’re drawing from them. Because, believe it or not, you’re the one engaging in racial prejudice here.

        Gonna be a tough argument for u, if your case is that your anecdote of good treatment as a white man is unrelated to non-white people infamously and consistently receiving piss poor treatment at every level of the judicial system. Sorry, better watch out against my “racial prejudice” against the “race” of people whose criteria of whiteness seems to fluctuate a lot through history.
