Deluding yourself into thinking that Democrats want rapists and criminals among their own children and society is an astonishingly stupid take. You partisans frothing at the mouth over hatred for "the other side" sound absolutely insane saying things like this. Not only is it mind bogglingly dumb to suggest people are A-okay with murderers roaming free -- and nobody has ever said that, so it's just another thing you completely made up -- but it also makes no sense to suggest we should assume people who stay in the country illegally (i.e. non felonious criminals) are going to rob and kill people. That's ridiculous fear mongering. I hope you're not actually that ignorant and afraid.
And no Biden didn't "change his mind" so you're wrong again. He has always said he wanted felonious immigrants out, and in fact Trump used Biden's anti immigration stance against him in the debate when he commented that Obama + Biden's administration built the cages and presided over mass deportation. So conservatives can't have it both ways and highlight that Obama/Biden were anti immigrant in their policy and then at the same time try and portray them as open border enthusiasts. I mean I guess you can try, but I'll call it out as nonsense as you can see.
I doubt Democrats want murderers in their streets, (although their very soft on crime stance might suggest otherwise), but politics is all about unintended consequences. Every criminal at some point had no felony convictions. Simply put, being softies on illegal immigration gets dozens, likely hundreds of Americans killed every year by people who shouldn't even be here.
While I doubt Democrats wanted that to happen, not helping ICE deport them directly contributes to these deaths, or drug overdoses from drugs they sell and smuggle or however else they harm Americans.
I thought that the high level of deportations was actually a highlight of the Obama/Biden presidency. Trump was really stupid for trying to smear Biden based on his previous tough-on-crime stances in the middle of a crime wave and riots. See? I can agree with Obama on occasion ;)
Your argument is that black people blame white people for all of their problems. Here is the quote you provided: “There are fewer than 1% of black female professors in the United Kingdom … The findings show that for changes to be made, the embedded structures of racism and white supremacy need to be dismantled in preparation for an education system that is based on equitable practices and processes.” This statement makes one singular observation about one specific subject - the lack of black female professors in the U.K. - and therefore in no way, shape, or form comes even CLOSE to proving the monumentally broad statement of white people being blamed for all black people's problems. All this does is highlight exactly what I said about teachers discussing the ways history has impacted present day society.
I didn't say black people blame white people for all of their problems, I referred specifically to how "academics" always frame the issue. I gave an example of the type of language used to shift all blame to a "white supremacy" or "systemically racist" boogeyman, while utterly ignoring other factors that contribute to the disparity- as if a disparity alone is somehow an indication of malice.
If I need a quote from a professor on all the ~600+ problems in the black community to meet your burden of proof or whatever, then I'm just not gonna bother further commenting on the point lol.
You can't find a "this percentage of professors blame white people for all black people's problems" statistic on Google Scholar.
You gave a statistic about 16% of STEM workers being brown. That doesn't prove anything about racism being "imaginary" lol what? And what does this prove about "white people being blacked for all black people's problems?" You're just throwing out useless statistics at this point.
I'll put this in simple terms:
There is a disparity
Only explanation for disparity-"systemic" racism
Who has been the country majority with "systemic" power? White people
So who is therefore blamed for supposed "systemic" racism? White people
That is the entire formula. Just keep this in the back of your mind for the future, I don't care if I convince you rn tbh.
Formula:
Any "bad" disparity exists (there are less of "x" demographic in a good job, more negative health outcomes, etc.)
If a minority group, generally just confined to Latinos/Blacks/Women (Asians are only occasionally not used because they generally succeed at higher rates than White people) is on the bad end, then it must be because of the White people or White men specifically setting up a racist system to hurt x group
White people are evil for creating said system
There is no "well maybe they have higher rates of diabetes because they eat way too much fast food and sweets compared to other groups" no "maybe they have less wealth because they have more children out of wedlock, and single parenthood leads to poverty and crime" unless you're an evil right-wing bigot
Once you start noticing the formula, you'll see it everywhere haha.
I'll give you an example here for COVID since it is relevant:
Disparity/minorities hurt:
"An Associated Press
analysis of available death data found that black people constituted 42 percent of the victims, doubling their share of the populations of the states the analysis included. In Louisiana, more than
70 percent of the people who have died so far from COVID-19 were black, more than twice their 32 percent share of the state’s population, and well above the 60 percent share of the population of New Orleans, where the outbreak is worst. In New York, African Americans comprise 9 percent of the state population and
17 percent of the deaths."
Muh Racism:
"When pressed on whether these “underlying health conditions” are “rooted in years of systemic racism,” Cassidy responded: “That’s rhetoric, and it may be. But as a physician, I’m looking at science.”
Without question, African Americans suffer disproportionately from chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lung disease, obesity, and asthma, which make it harder for them to survive COVID-19. But if Cassidy were looking at science, then he’d also be asking:
Why are African American suffering more from these chronic diseases? Why are African Americans more likely to be obese than Latinos and whites?"
Disparities in underlying health conditions blamed on- you guessed it- racism.
They never actually mention data on the differences in diets between races (fast food/fried food consumption-type data).
But they do say:
"If black people receive inferior care from hospitals and doctors, are black people to blame? If black people are less likely to be insured, are black people are to blame? If hospitals in majority-black counties are overloaded with coronavirus patients, are black people to blame?"
All attention gets 100% shifted away from those issues of diet instead of digging into them at all, thus there must be no blame on them whatsoever! In my skimming, I saw no part where the author put any blame on an affected group, simply doing a poor rebuttal of people that do.
They bring up "inferior care" racism without any link to instances of inferior care. Insurance differences have nothing to do with the much higher infection rates. There is no proof provided that hospitals in black areas were overcrowded. All emergency rooms have to accept anybody regardless of insurance.
It is all blame for Whitey.
Lots of mental gymnastics to blame White people for every issue. You'll never hear that White women die in childbirth more than Hispanics based on rates, for instance. It is an inconvenient fact.
Article link:
First off minimizing the impact of horrifically racist Jim Crow laws by saying "muh Jim Crow" as if it's not significant is really childish and speaks volumes. Secondly you can't deny the existence of Jim Crow nor the impact of Jim Crow, which is why you are bringing up the fallacious red herring of other things you find to be problematic. They may be significant and problematic as well, but that doesn't mean Jim Crow wasn't.
Thirdly you're just flat out wrong again because all of those things are factored into analysis about crimes and livelihoods among people living in inner cities. No one denies that fatherlessness factors into crimes nor that most crime occurs among certain communities. I'm guessing you are completely unaware and ignorant to the mountains of research on those very topics, but yes, they exist and they are talked about quite a bit.
Jim Crow- bad
Two decades later- definitely going to still be some effects(in my opinion rather small after ~2 generations have been born), but certainly not enough to still be responsible for these large disparities.
Third- I'm sure I'm much more familiar with that research, but that is completely irrelevant that there is that much research. Simply put, if you solve fatherless homes alone, you will get rid of most of the disparity on the poverty end. This doesn't even touch on other issues like culture affecting life choices.
Black motherless home: 45% in poverty
Black double married parent: 12% in poverty
Still higher than Whites by a few percent (but again, number of children is higher for Blacks, different choices of jobs/housing/age to have kids among hundreds of other factors can explain it without blaming evil George Wallace's corpse)
With that huge difference from one issue alone and the >70% illegitimacy rate, why the heck is Jim Crow still even 1/10th as relevant?
The answer is that it is much easier to blame the "racism boogeyman" than poor decisions of individuals.
In my opinion, focusing on the invisible racism from mainly the 1960s is a 100% distraction from real issues that are causing real problems, and blowing them out of proportion to shift blame and whip up votes is counterproductive.
