Well, having an honest conversation about race is not possible in public, but since we're here... I think the human brain is primed for being racist. Our defense mechanisms and confirmation bias make it a part of us all to some extent... it takes a bunch of exposure to different people and an intellectual awareness to really become as colorblind as possible.


racism is a learned behaviour

I agree. Blacks are more likely to commit crime. I think this is contributed to many factors, you see how intilted a lot of whites are with their culture? Now add the fact that a lot of blacks live in slums, which harbors gang culture, and the fact that they easily can use past slavery of their ancestors for a morale excuse in their heads and you have a lot of black criminals.

i wonder if some people are just completely oblivious to things like systemic racism in the criminal justice system or if they just choose to ignore it...
i mean, can someone seriously believe that the colour of your skin determines your behaviour?

well, have YOU watched your video? has he touched on systemic racism in the criminal justice system? and if so, what does he say about it? pretty sure i'm not the one with the "simple point" here for saying it's retarded to assume that it's your race what determines behaviour...

I think this is probably true on the same sense that our brains are primed to murder our rivals and gain enough power that we can just rape those who would refuse us our whims. :(


I think those primal urges are a little more conscious. Developing a negative opinion of a group over a number of years is quite different than the desire to murder or rape someone. There's also a certain level of denial among people with racist opinions... which isn't the case when someone feels a desire to rape or murder. Of course you are a euphoric, enlightened liberal, but not everyone is capable of being critical of their bigoted opinions.

Article:"Donald Trump supporters are more likely to describe blacks as criminals, unintelligent, lazy and violent"

Trump supporters: "Well.. black people really are criminals, unintelligent, lazy and violent"


Classic

Shock of all shocks.

Blacks are 7x more likely to commit murder.

Its a real thing.


This reminds me of that time that Trump tweeted those crime statistics broken down by race, but deliberately switched the "whites murdered by blacks" and "blacks murdered by blacks" %s around so that the "whites murdered by blacks" % was higher, then deleted the tweet, when he got caught, then pretended that the whole thing never happened.

Yes I have watched the video, you haven't really backed up your argument here you just said that systematic racism in the criminal justice system exists. What are the systems built into the criminal justice system that target certain races only? If these systems exists, what are its effects on targeted races?
It's extremely simple for you to think that races end at skin color in America. Your race does not determine your behavior but your upbringing, culture, IQ, and genetics do. The upbringing, culture, IQ, and genetics are explained in further detail with sources in the video.
