    Once again I’m not equating anything I experienced to experiences had by minorities. My original comment was refuting a user who said it didn’t happen. So your weed imprisonment example is irrelevant. I’m simply saying it does exist.

    And it absolutely existed at high levels. Affirmative action wasn’t something we all just decided to do, it was legislated.

    And just because there is a majority of whites in power doesn’t mean that a law limiting the hiring of whites erases the racism of that law. Both things can happen simultaneously.

      By claiming to have been a victim of systemic racism, this is exactly what you are doing. You don’t get to say that you were a victim of systemic racism, because systemic racism against white people is literally im-fucking-possible because they control (and created) the system.

      We were so close. Have a nice day, clown.
