The biggest red flag for what nonsense concepts institutional and systemic racism in America are, is that they are predicated entirely on per capita demography
Its not? Have you ever heard someone say that racism is prevalent in a region because there live that many white and black folks there? I havent. You are making stuff up.
The closest thing I've come across are factors of social cohesion, within sizeable minority communities. F.e. if you have a large part of town, thats income poor, and that has been lived in by predominantly one race, generationally, and that is part of a larger more affluent community - then you'd expect to find more racism in the border zones.
But apart from that?
What you are doing very likely is reading an overgeneralization someone made, and now complaining about that it is an overgeneralization.
In city/community planning, nor in sociology no one is dumb enough to just straight out say, that racism is a factor of population numbers alone...
Thats just not true.
At the same time, the entire concept is entirely unrelated to 'if there is such a thing as institutional racism'. You find that out, by f.e. screening incident reports, or looking at arrest figures vs. what would be a statistical normal.
And if you think that the guys and gals doing those analyses dont look at factors like 'are there other direct potential influences', you are stupid.
-
But then the main thing you are doing is actually pretty problematic in its own right, because you seem to assert, that certain "character traits" associated with skin color are why f.e. there is a higher arrest rate of black people, that cant be statistically explained.
And thats entirely bull.
There have been many problematic experiments in the past, where children of native rural populations where taken from their parents and 'civilized' (brought up by foster parent), and the outcomes always were that those children basically were culturally assimilated.
The black n**** gene, that makes them more aggressive, doesnt exist, even though you want to imply that in so many words.
You are just entirely wrong on that.
No - if you have arest figures 10x higher for black populations than for white populations in the same city, thats structural racism (can also be in 'targeting' doesnt _have_ to be the individual police man, but then if you already have a 'speak out and keep fellow officers in check' rule, and five people stair holes in the air, while a black dude is kneeled to death, thats either - human decision failure in five cases simultaniously, or systemic racism. ('We against, the ones out there' think). So no, none of thats bull.
