DU Poll: Will "economic justice/parity will "solve" racism?

to all those who

say "economic justice/parity will "solve" racism and is the major factor for white racism, I say economic parity is but one SMALL area contributing to white racism. The other LARGE problem contributing to white racism is the color of ones skin and that problem has been the major contributing factor, along with whites afraid of losing their white privilege and identity entitlement that has kept white racism as an horrendous tool of the white supremacist since the lynching of James Crawford a well to do farmer in the post slavery 'emancipation' period of the 'north-south' civil war. Oh, Mr. Crawford? He got in an argument with a white store owner over price gouging because he was a black person.

The money an African-american has pales to non-existence when white person sees a black person, especially if that white person is racist. The African-american in their eyes is immediately an 'other' and usually seen as a n*****. Yes, even a first class POTUS we had before this trash that now calls himself potus. Period. No ifs, and's or buts about this fact. A POC driving an expensive car will be pulled over, a white person will not. Period. Just one small true example. That AA can be a CEO, a major face from television, a major newsperson, even one of the protect and serve people off duty, a white racist cop having a bad day or not, makes no difference, will immediately make a judgement. Ask Oprah about her shopping spree in Switzerland. That point is obvious.

**** economic parity when I want human right parity. That's what I say when it comes to the proponents of economic parity being the major solution to white racism in ameriKKKa and at last count there are at least 66 million of them in this country alone.

1. Economic parity will lead to racial justice, equal treatment under the law?

That is exactly backwards.

If there was equal treatment under the law, economic parity would no be an issue.

3. Their arguments in favor of dialectical materialism are simply rationalizing

Their arguments in favor of dialectical materialism are simply rationalizing a bullet point made by last year's sacred cow, and were required reading in the Soviet Union.

Ooo... someone read their Marx and Lenin in college...

7. This exactly, heaven.

But you really don't want racial equality, do you. You want the whites to give you everything because you 'deserve it'...

You'd prefer separation of the races with the POCs being the 'more equal' than the non-POCs.

11. Equal rights.

Equality human rights
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
OHCHR – What are Human Rights?
www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Pages/WhatareHumanRights.aspx

These rights are inherent for us all. No matter our race, color, sex, religion or sexuality. These are our human rights.

Who wrote about rights inherent to all peoples?

It wasn't a black guy.

12. Yes it is.

"economic parity" will not make me any more equal than it will make a black woman or man equal. No minority will ever be equal.

I will not get shot in my car, I am white and privileged...yet I will never be equal.

Speaking for me, as a woman, it took us 72 years for the right to vote and in 2017 men are regulating what we should be paid and telling us that they alone make the decisions over our bodies. They don't use birth control and never needed an abortion so why the hell should THEY pay for it? Well you Boys...we don't use Viagra so why the hell should we be paying for your hard pricks that may result in a pregnancy that you refuse to cover.

Here they are...

 

so many straw...er...   persons in that one post...

13. I think it's ridiculous

No one in their right mind would think economic parity will fix racism. I will admit I'm white and don't have the experiences, but I have eyes and can see what goes on. Racism isn't about money although sometimes money plays into it (like refusal to consider a black applicant for a job).

Has racism gotten better or worse since Barry got elected?

[DumbAss Tanker]

If you believe we live in economies of scarcity, rather than some unicorn-fart BS ('Cause even Marxism and Socialism rely on scarcity and allocation, whether they admit it or not, they just give all the allocation decisions to the government instead of the consumer) then the obvious result of going from a lack of economic parity is that the population being moved upward gains economic advantage at the expense of the rest of the population, because there are only so many jobs, goods, and services to go around without changing other parameters, and therefore the section of the population losing economic power is going to be somewhat less than enthused about the whole thing.

I know!!....I know!!.....Pick me! Wildly waving my hand.

Worse, because Barry is a racist bigot.
The wookie even more so.
A truly detestable little man.

Two brothers have been arrested in connection with the cold-blooded murder of a Philadelphia father who was fatally shot twice in the face while his 2-year-old daughter sat in the backseat during a carjacking.

Your chances of being called a racist just because you disagree with someone with an opposite opinion also increased 100% as well under the jug eared ones rule.

Wrong diagnosis - in fact, no "gnosis" at all - wrong "medicine", greater harm done.

More than a little "racism" is caused by the thug culture so prominent among African Americans and glorified by their music.

The majority of time when you hear about a mugging, robbery, murder or other violent crime, it's easy to assume the perpetrator was a minority and most of the time that assumption is correct.

[GOP Congress]

It's simple. We have either an American Constitution, where individuals interact as equals under the law and opportunity, or we work under the Communist Manifesto, where everyone is treated with contempt and with segregationalist intent and ultimate dystopia.

Without the American Constitution, 98% of all technological advancements that you have seen since the founding would never have occurred. Bill Gates was the last major tycoon who transformed an entire age, which could not have been done in a country without a high degree of constitutional consequence.

Bottom line: If Constitutionalists do not overcome non-Constitutionalists, the planet is doomed.

[USA4ME]

The correct answer is:

It doesn't matter, because as long as there are liberals, then there will always be claims of racism and social injustice, and liberals need the issue more than they desire a solution. Since the issue is where the power lies rather than finding a remedy, then both will remain.

What say you, DUmmies?

Zimbabwe already demonstrated what Lib/Prog "economic justice/parity" produces, and South Africa looks to be heading down the same road.

What's not to like?   

Mugabe is a hero over at the DUmp.  They believe his philosophy cannot arrive at our shores soon enough.

It must be tough being a lib / prog. Getting up every day and having to find something or some one to piss and moan and rant and hate about.
