Not a Fed but yes fine I am a horse

And then a black woman, with no qualifications to speak of, was promoted by the system until she became the vice president of the US. And how she was allowed to be the democratic presidential nominee without a single vote.

The point you're making wouldn't follow from your evidence even setting aside how wrong you are about Kamala.

Notice I said the word oppressed and you changed that word to disadvantage to make it easier to argue against. Oppression and a “disadvantage” are fundamentally different and while oppression is certainly a disadvantage (an extreme disadvantage) it doesn’t follow that a disadvantage is oppression. Otherwise we are all oppressed somehow. Understand?

Not that you understood the point I was making, but why doesn’t it follow from the evidence? And saying I’m “wrong” about Kamala refutes nothing. What, specifically, am I wrong about?

This is more than saying “I’ve seen a successful black person or two.” Read the post again and see if you can spot the difference.

Systemic racism- a form of systemic oppression- is when a system is set up such that it unjustly impacts racial groups disproportionately.

I can rephrase that without the word oppression as there being unjust systemic racial disadvantages. And just because you have an unjust system that disadvantages you based on race doesn't mean you can't succeed just that people at scale are less likely to.

Often people talk about heritability of socioeconomic status. Black families have worse intergenerational upward and downward mobility than white families. Or you can look overall at arrest rates and see black people are arrested more for the same crimes and when things like the War on Drugs happens that messes with black communities in particular, more so than just socioeconomic factors account for.

There's lots of nuances here that leftists or progressives wont generally engage with, but that certainly doesn't justify writing it all off as over and done.

As for what you said about Kamala, she was a district attorney, an attorney general, and a senator before she was the vice president making her infinitely more credentialed than the blight on this country you chose to elect.

Your vague definitions of systemic racism and oppression don't really mean anything. A racial group being disproportionately impacted by something is not racism unless you can prove it's because of their race and that the disparity is actually the result of unjust treatment. A statistical discrepancy, by itself, is not evidence of racism or oppression.

These kinds of definitions have completely destroyed the meaning of racism. Instead of referring to actual racial discrimination, which is a genuinely evil thing, it has been watered down to mean any unequal outcome.

You throw around vague definitions, but you're never actually able to point to where this alleged systemic oppression exists. You just point to disparities and expect everyone else to assume racism is the explanation.

Giving numerical differences doesn't prove anything unless you can show that racism or oppression is actually the reason those differences exist. Arrest rates don't prove racism unless you can demonstrate that more people are being arrested because of their race rather than some other factor, which is a pretty big assumption to make. As it stands, you're just using a "racism of the gaps" argument.

And of course they are meme references.

The memes in question:
