    Its not, nor should it be, but our laws have been written to accept refugees under political persecution.  
     

    That is not happening in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico etc., yet our door to them is wide open.   
     

    Somehow Cubans, who are truly fleeing persecution, we say no? 

    which way would Cubans vote?

    Its not just laws we need to focus on but the differential treatment of people under the same laws.  Look at the disparity in sentencing by race and gender.  In the NFL, the rule book is the same for all teams. But if we had to play the Patriots 16 times a year with Walt Coleman calling the games, an impartial rule book doesn't mean the game is fair.

     

    This is just one example.

    since you bring up 1 referee, i would prefer to see 1 judge's record to see if he/she sentences equally or not.

    Racism is more than one thing. The OP's question pertains to two different forms of racism without distinguishing them.

     

    It seems obvious that a black person can hold racist thoughts about white people and engage in interpersonal racism in their behavior. 

     

    When people have said "only white people can be racist" they are talking about structural racism in America. Structural racism being the establishment of laws and social structures implemented to benefit white people.

     

    Imo, white people can benefit from structural racism without holding any racist views perosonaly. And if they didn't enact the structurally racist systems that benefit them, and if they are unaware of the existance of those structures, it's hard to say there are racist.

     

    But the staying power of structural racism has been made possible through the denial of the existance of racism. Often that denial is pertaining to personally held racist beliefs, not the actual structures of law, economic and social infrastructure. So it is convenient if you've benefited from racist structures if you don't believe they exist. 

     

     

    are you saying there are current "establishment of laws and social structures implemented to benefit white people."?

    You have to stop being so sad. It was a great day. Record day in the markets, infrastructure bills passing.

     

    Joe also told business owners to piss off and pay a living wage. Unemployment and inflation decreasing. The whole premise for this thread is fake.

     

    Great days ahead!

    well, as a business owner and my fiance also a business owner, we will be cutting back on employees.  see how that works?
