I love that quote, not sure who it's from though. Could you just imagine how fundamentally different the world would be for everyone if we _were_ masters of love? There are communities around the planet (small and remote) that seem to understand it, and you can see how much better lives they live. Countries like the US have remote areas too (I live in one) and the best we seem to muster is a calm and sorted chaos that puts some value in human life. The value of a human life in inner cities is close to nothing, and it turns my stomach to think how that might affect someone over 15 or 20 years into adulthood.

rollerblading geek We still live in a racist system ...You shouldn’t deny racial biases that live in the justice system, healthcare system, and other places. Black women being almost 4x as likely to die in childbirth is literally an example of systemic racism. It is exists in many institutions, whether you like it or not. Thankfully, many people of all colors agree to fight this. It’s something you have to actively combat, can’t just ignore it if you want it fixed
@rollerbladinggeek55074 жыл бұрын
@@reinal7896 Your reply makes lots of assumptions as a basis for systemic racism though. You assume I know racism exists in those areas but deny it, which is false. I haven't seen any proof it exists systemically. Times have changed since the 1950s. Black women being 4x as likely to die in childbirth isn't necessarily racism- it could be due to other factors, such as being 4x more likely to live in a certain way or genetics. Certain races are more likely to die of certain viruses also due to genetics- that isn't racism. White people developed immunity over generations to diseases or conditions many other races didn't, and vice versa. You say racism is in the system whether I like it or not, but I say the above is true whether you like it or not. It's a matter of exceptions as opposed to "systemic" racism. It isn't that people are ignoring it, it's that they don't believe it exists. Look at the last president- he was black. Look at any major corporation- full of minority race senior exec's and CEOs, look at doctors & lawyers... this isn't the days of the 1800s no matter how much you want to play the role of "saint" to help an abused minority. There are people genuinely getting racially abused out there, and minorities at serious risk, so isn't it better we focus our time on them instead of inventing this aged idea of system racism in developed countries & making all black people feel like they must be victims, just to make ourselves feel like we're coming to the rescue... I get that we all want to feel connected but aren't there better ways to go about this?
@panemetcircenses60034 жыл бұрын
rollerblading geek You’ll agree that there was racism in the past, right? So when did that stop, and when did government systems and agencies get reformed to deal with it? When was society allowed to rebalance? For example, Start by looking at where polling stations where closed, Predominantly in poor areas. Since a larger proportion of POC are poor, this affects them disproportionately. Systemic racism isn’t necessarily people being racist today, it’s the echo of past racism affecting people today. Edit: Thought about this a bit more, I think systemic inequality may be a better term than systemic racism, since the system can lead to outcomes biased by race, but the actors in the system are not necessarily being actively racist.

Things like general strikes, sit down strikes, more protests. Finger wagging people is not really constructive in and of itself.

MLK was a Democratic Socialist. MLK is one of the most important figures in U.S. History. He should be celebrated annually and not just for Black History Month or MLK day. They need to teach about this man's Courage that he had to make real change in the Country. To stand up for your fellow man,woman,child without the color of their skin being a factor. To bring everyone together. MLK was a wonderful man and I'm glad to have this man as a piece of History for the Universe and the Eternity of a diverse coalition of Human beings. MLK was the start.

There's a reason why we celebrate MLK Jr.'s birthday and not Stokely Carmichael's. The former supported peaceful protest, condemned riots, and wanted black and white people to march together. The latter supported violent revolution, encouraged riots, and was angry when white people joined the march because he believed it was "a blacks-only march". I'm convinced MLK's strategy can bring us together (and also that it actually DID bring us together in the 80s, 90s, and most of the 2000s). I'm convinced that Stokely Carmichael's strategy pushes us apart, which I think it has done successfully since about 2013 (founding of BLM).
