Systemic racism, the woke get woker

As much as I disagree with what Democrats and liberals like to call “systematic racism” I also hesitate to speak out against it because a lot of the accusations of “wokeness” and “victimhood” can be used against our fellow Jews who are sometimes a little too quick on the antisemitism trigger.

TVAP,

Your post is more of a rant than actual cogent arguments that can be discussed.
” The black population in the us is 13%, while the NBA is 74% black. Why no cries of systemic racism there? ” . Seriously ? Sports ?
What does a Harvard Study on reparations have to do with systemic racism?
Who cares about ethnomathematics in Oregon? I have been trying to understand what ethnomathematics means and what Oregon is trying to implement but I have failed.

Systemic Racism is not a hoax. It exists. Not all over , but it does exist.
Fighting systemic racism definitely helps all the people that have been denied equal opportunities due to it.

It doesn’t ignore any other problems that are holding minorities back. It is a piece of the puzzle.

The prevarication that democrats believe in equalizing the playing field just to garner votes is similar to the canard that that they are for immigrant rights just to garner votes.
(Trump gave tax cuts so that they rich will vote for him. Do you believe that ?)

Police brutality has nothing to do with any of the educational issues in schools. But police brutality is an issue that needs to be resolved because it effects all citizens – whites too.
The last president loved police brutality. “Hit their heads pushing them into the police car.” People are protesting and he wants to walk to a church for photo op – blast their heads off.

Before this police brutality battle cry became a “thing”, there was outrage over all the killings of blacks by cops. The stats showed, if i remember correctly that 18 blacks were killed by cops. When those stats didn’t support the cause, they switched it to police brutality, and by then the excitement of getting free stuff from target took on a life of its own. But it was founded on lies.

“the narrative that america is systemically racist is garbage”

Not garbage at all. Fact.

I am old enough to have gone to a segregrated all white elementary school. The all-black school was an underfunded dump. My parents also went to all white schools. Black schools paid their teachers more poorly everywhere other than Washington DC (which, no surprise, had some great all black schools during the segregation era), and the very first victory of the modern civil rights movement was a lawsuit that forced Norfolk VA to pay teachers at its white and black schools the same. Further lawsuits required facilities in black schools to be improved and the racists resented paying the taxes. Then when integration came, Virginia closed public schools in four districts to avoid integration.

Many institutions of higher education would not accept black students, or accepted very few, and to this day they give “legacy preference” to descendants of alumni from those racist years.

This is racism. This is systemic. And that legacy preference stuff negatively affects Jews yet people who claim to be Jews defend it.

And I didn’t even mention slavery.

Smerel,
“(Hint: In NYC alone the murder rate is up fifty percent compared to a year ago. Over ninety percent of those murdered are black or Hispanic)”

That is false. The murder rate in NYC is way down by 35%

I just don’t get the rant. You don’t live in Oregon, and I would guess that your children and the children of your community don’t go to public school. BTW the Oregon DOE suggests teachers take this training, it’s not required, nor has the DOE adopted ethnomathematics. (I don’t even think it goes toward CE credit.)

Yea your rant fascinates me. As an Oregonian, meh. It’s not likely that the DOE will adopt ethnomathematics in the near or distant future. I spent a few years working for the DOE, and I’m guessing due to prior experience this is a new national trend in pedagogy. I’m also guessing that the DOE has gotten some grant money to fund these trainings, that’s their usual SOP.

We are in the year 2021.
The year to date Murder rate in 2020 was 43 and this year it is 38.
Check the NYPD website.
I don’t see in your data the percentage of single mother goings from 25% to 75%.
Non marital births does not mean a single mother is raising the baby. It means the parents are not married.

Great question. How do we quantify racism? Maybe we can add a question on the census , are you racist?

“We are in the year 2021.”
I think its fair to assume that the original poster was referring to 2020 given that we are only 7 weeks in to 2021. Its great that the city is on track to have fewer murders this year. Hopefully it can stay like that.

“Non marital births does not mean a single mother is raising the baby. It means the parents are not married”
Ann E Casey Foundation, says 64% of African American kids are living in single parent homes in 2019.

“How do we quantify racism?”
I don’t know, your the one who said a significant number of southerners are just as racist as their grandparents so how do you quantify racism and how did you come to this conclusion?

Bk613 -“The city recorded 1,531 shootings in 2020, 97% more than the 777 in 2019.
New York City recorded 447 homicides for the year as of Tuesday”

Now why is that?
There should have been much more deaths.
The reason is much more Trauma Centers, that primarily are in the Inner Cities!
