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.

Yeah. I'm gonna go ahead and say that _you_ don't know what institutional means in this context, or you're goalpost moving to suit your argument. If you can believe that the department doesn't propagate a culture of racism, you're just disingenuous.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/10/14/little-rocks-dangerous-and-illegal-drug-war/ …

This isn't proof of racism, but it is certainly institutional incompetence and is a sad state of affairs. Humans should be treated better than that. That certainly is a ridiculous abuse of power, I'll give you that.

Awful big of you to give me what's plainly fucking obvious to anybody with compassion. Now, to quote somebody I know you think is singularly genius, shut your mouth.pic.twitter.com/AfjtCjSk7y
