The issue would be whether "systemic racism" exists in jury selection. Prove it.

The criminal justice system, the educational system, the hiring process, policing, drug war, and the legacy of slavery and jim crow comes immediately to mind.

Also, just because some black people succeed and blacks are generally better off then they were in 1964 does not mean that systemic racism doesn't exist. Those are insanely dumb arguments.

The burden is on you to prove that something (white supremacy/systemic racism) currently exists. "Insanely dumb" is a worthless ad hominem rebuttal.

Oh sure thing. This is also on the top of the head btw, the full scope of systemic racism is much larger than this.

Criminal Justice System:

Blacks sentenced for longer compared to similarly situated whites

Legacy of Slavery and Jim Crow

The elimination of slavery and jim crow does not eliminate its legacy and impact. Even if every single individual racist did not exist in the US, the system would still be stacked against black people, and thus, provides racist outcomes.

Finally, "insanely dumb" is not an ad hominem. It's attacking your arguments, not your character. Furthermore, did you ignore the substantive criticism the literal sentence before that? Nice try tho.

A white man dies in police custody 2x more than blacks despite having less arrests and larger population.

OOOPS!!!!

And cops are 10x more likely to be killed by a black during an arrest.

OOOPS!!!

99% of your bullshit is countered by facts, evidence, and science. But you don't care about that.

F**king China trollbot.

Jfc you're stupid.

"A white man dies in police custody 2x more than blacks despite having less arrests and larger population."
First of all, citation needed. Second of all, this doesn't counter jackshit. You haven't disproved anything with this statistics. Anything.

"And cops are 10x more likely to be killed by a black during an arrest."

Again, citation needed buddy. And once again, this statistic, even if correct does not disprove systemic racism.

So according to you two unsourced statistics somehow disproves 99% of the overwhelming evidence of systemic racism in the US. I'm pretty sure the facts, evidence and science are on my side. Nice try tho

Most importantly, even if correct, it doesn't disprove a single one of the statistics I've listed, and it doesn't disprove systemic racism. He's so confident that two unsourced statistics disproves 99% of my "bullshit" lmao

Denialism definition: "In the psychology of human behavior, denialism is a person's choice to deny reality as a way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth. Denialism is an essentially irrational action that withholds the validation of a historical experience or event, when a person refuses to accept an empirically verifiable reality."

Figure of speech: Noun

Use in a sentence: When confronted with facts, Carrick McHwain becomes triggered, and exhibits extreme denialism.

I like how this conversation began with someone alleging that you gave a "worthless ad hominem rebuttal".... and ended with someone else calling you a Chinese bot and posting a bunch of pictures of babies crying with your name on it.

;P
