    I pity your world view and how fragile it seems to be.
    Guys like you would have the 90% of the nation on walkers, wheelchairs and parking in mostly handicapped spaces.
    Sad that you still live in the 1960s bubble. The world has moved on without you.

    I don’t know what policies you are talking about, but I’m talking about legal slavery, Jim Crow, and systemic racism. So yes, they are racist policies.

    Sorry bud but it turns out if your father was a criminal, odds are you’ll become one…no matter your skin color.
    There are millions of wonderful black fathers who raise outstanding children.
    Why can’t you see the pattern?

    Slavery has been gone for over one hundred years. Jim Crow has been gone since 1964. As far as "systemic racism," that's the whole argument so you need to show your work on that.

    And again mere disparities is not evidence of racism.

    Why don't they? They're ending up in prison at a higher rate so wouldn't that mean that the system is sexist against men?

    How about suicide rates? Men are more likely to actually die from suicides than women.

    Again, agree with me on school vouchers or you don't care about Black people.

    I wonder if your child would feel the same way... after all he/she would be the one that worked their azz off to apply to this "hypothetical" university. I would tell my dad where to go if he said that in public.

    I explained your straw man away. You’re not claiming it’s systemic..

    No you haven't. There is a disparity, you agree that there is a disparity, now prove to me how it isn't a result of sexism.

    If you don’t post with an iPad or you don’t care about… never mind…. You’ll do anything to avoid a direct discussion.

    It's hard to have a conversation with somebody whose schtick is begging the question and calling you a bad or uncaring person.

    What a bunch of hogwash stated as fact, yet devoid of context, substance, or evidence.
