      Friendly reminder. We are living in 2019. There is no institutional racism. There hasn't been for a very long time. But, that doesn't mean that bigotry isn't rearing its ugly head... it is. Ideas are under attack. The thought police are watching you.

      Oh look a bunch of cherry picked facts without empirical evidence to back them up—from a biased source, no less.

      Read and dismissed 120 professional studies compiled by a journalist, former Cato scholar, and author who's been covering this beat for two decades... All in three minutes? Damn. You _are_ Alpha.

      I read it before. Personal merits do not lend thoughts credibility. Credibility of thoughts and studies stand on their own.

      Well, your "nope" based on your experience definitely bears consideration in the face of over ten dozen independent studies. 👍

      What if there is something going on that you aren't aware of. What if there is an agenda being pushed to enrage people, create division where it doesn't exists and to cause otherwise reasonable people to act as a hateful mob? And what if people are too scared to speak out?

      That's some galaxy brain shit there. Definitely more likely and worth caring about than the literally over a hundred studies in that article demonstrating institutional racism in this country.

      Institutional racism implies an institution which codifies racism. Name one. Where is an institutional policies which is implicitly racist? Name one.

      Pick any county prosecutor's office in the US. Pick any law enforcement agency in the US. Any one will do. Voila. Or, if that's too many to pick from, you could pick from the agencies in the over 120 studies in that article that demonstrate racial bias in policing.

      Ok, you can pick one for me. Any one you like. Now show me an actual policy where racism is institutionalized. I'll wait.

          Sure, bro. I'll roll the dice for you. Little Rock PD. Talk to me about the lack of institutional racism there.

          I'm not sure you understand what institutional means. You need documented proof in order to say it's institutional. Is there a policy which for example says that they are to treat white and black people differently? You haven't produced one shred of evidence yet.
