Disparity in outcomes is not racism. What is your best example of institutional racism?

How about "The New Deal"

It was a federal program which allowed the banks to continue their practice of labeling predominantly black neighborhoods as "high likelihood of default" and to summarily refuse loans for anyone living in those neighborhoods. It disproportionately funneled money into white families, allowing them to buy homes in new suburbs and send their children to college. The legacy of this is far from dead. Many of those white kids are still working professional careers which they only have because their parents could get loans.

It is not wholly relevant if the policy has ended, because the legacy lives on and continues to alter the economic landscape of America. It is good that the policy has ended, but time has not erased the results.

You'll get no argument from me about literal institutional racism (meaning racism by institution by government mandates and/or incentives). Perhaps I mistook the meaning of the phrase you were using. Its common definition as thrown about on the internet is very loosely based on the sociology form of the phrase, which isn't necessarily about literal institutions. It's stuff like "White people don't buy phones when pictured with black hands at the same rate they do white hands. Institutional racism!"

But, yes, you're right. The government is very racist. Fuck the government and its racism. I couldn't agree with you more. :winkface

It's called negotiating.

It was my mistake to suggest that the literal institutional racism of literal government institutions doesn't exist.

Also, this shit happens to whites too. Nobody seems to care though so the media doesn't care.
