Racism exist every where in the world. The only thing is that Americans especially whites are extremely sensitive and volatile about being accused of being a racist. I rather people admit racism and not deny it but you can't act on it. The problem with this country is that people claim they aren't racists but supports systematically racism. Just don't claim that you aren't a racist.

Give an example of systematic racism, other than affirmative action (which works against whites).

The NFL and NBA are predominantly Black and have been for decades. The Media and Entertainment overly promote Blacks and Black causes. That's Systemic". Oh wait......

Eminem and Lil Wayne are a lot alike. Both are rappers, both pretty much dress the same, speak the same, grew up in the same ghettos, and both are loved by white and black people alike. But only one was constantly being brought before Congress to answer questions about his music. Only one was taken to court to battle the FCC on his rights to produce his music.

With this in mind, this is my observation. There is some racism that still exists, but for the most part people get along just fine regardless of what race or nationality you are, how you dress, and sometimes how you speak (granted, if you come into a church and start saying the F and C words, you will be kicked out regardless what your race is) The biggest problems seems to happen is when there is someone out there that can appeal to anyone, and that is when the most powerful people in the country, and sometimes the world, will get involved to try and cause problems. The biggest threat to THEIR power is a people who start to come together from all walks of life. And it's usually through music. The ones that start dropping truth pills become an even bigger threat, and that is when the elite yank on the chains of the politicians they put in office to start using the law against them. And mind you, the elite also own all the major media outlets. Only 5 companies in the entire world own 90% of the media. And their job now is to use that media to influence public opinion, for their own benefit.

The intellect of whites is far superior, as you all have tested and proven, excluding blacks systematically in every sector of white society that actually matters. Sports and entertainment don’t matter when it comes to building and maintaining societies. So yes, all modern systems are racist against blacks because of natural thought process and behavior.

Music is not important. Music does not produce essential goods and services.
