Being called a racist in that context is designed to silence your free speech.
Rather than contend with your arguments, they'd much rather attack you personally so that you're too scared to speak out, lest you receive social and sometimes physical backlash.
And you're so stuck. You know that people evolving in different environments is going to make the races different at the biological level, but you can't begin to say that because you'll be called a racist.
That's precisely the response you've seen so far from Progressives. They don't want to contend with the argument that: "Today, 99 times out of 100 in politics, the word “racist” is used purely for political reasons without any regard to whether something bigoted was actually said." Instead, they will attack you personally or the way in which you said something, and either way they will call you racist.
Spot on! Thank you.
Thing is, I am not afraid. I cannot be silenced. I am not afraid of the truth that I am putting forth; leftist progressives are, as you so aptly pointed out here.
Truth may hurt the left, but it's still the truth, nonetheless.
300 years of slavery and it took a civil war to abolish it where over 700,000 Americans died.
Racism is hardwired in the American DNA.
Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The researchers examined 5,494 police-related deaths in the U.S. between 2013 and 2017. Rates of deadly police encounters were higher in the West and South than in the Midwest and Northeast, according to the study. Racial disparities in killings by police varied widely across the country, with some metropolitan areas showing very high differences between treatment by race. Black Chicagoans, for example, were found to be over 650% more likely to be killed by police than white Chicagoans.
Your math is way off. Slavery began in 1619 and ended in 1865, 246 years; NOT 300.
Also, it was not 700k soldiers that died, it was 620k.
Notwithstanding, so what! America is NOT the only country on the planet that utilized slave labor.
Racism is part of the human experience the planet over, it is not isolated to just America.
Blacks do not hold the trump card as being the only ones enslaved by others.
You clearly do not know a damn thing about slavery in America let alone the history of it the world over. Bet you didn't know white Europeans were enslaved by blacks (Barbery pirates) before blacks were enslaved by white Dutch and Spaniards to be sold to Americans and taken to the Caribbean and South America. I also bet that you did not know only about 334k Africans were brought to America, while the remaining 10.7 million Africans that survived the Atlantic journey went to South America and the Caribbean.
A small portion of black Americans commit over 50% of the entire nation's violent person crimes. They also commit a disproportionate amount of crime in general, which means they will have a lot of contact with law enforcement since cops go where the crime is, not where it is not happening. This small portion of black Americans who come into contact with law enforcement are immediately belligerent, combative, resist arrest and try to kill police. Cops are 18.5x more likely to be shot and killed by an armed black American than your mere 3.23x blacks being shot and allegedly killed.
