Institutional racism has been questioned and denied time and time again on this site...Those posters doing it take the straightforward approach as well as the more subtle, highly ambiguous approach when denying its existence or, as you just did, try to diminish it by saying it is on the decline...It is not on the decline, if anything, it is even more insidious as politicians, businesses, educators, and lenders become more and more skilled at hiding it from the public....Which, I might add, is why so many white Americans deny it as a major contributing factor to crime and poverty rates in black communities throughout America... If institutional racism is so hidden like you say, then how is that you know about it? Seriously, you haven't proven your claim. Am I supposed to assume that people are guilty of racism until proven innocent? There are many people who know about it David...I said "is why so many white Americans don't know"....Not all...I know because I choose to know.... It's not a claim, it's a fact...When a group, any group, experiences bias in any area of public government, private corporations, or public and private school systems, it can become extremely difficult for that group to succeed…African Americans experience bias in all three areas… In government money and power might influence who gets elected, but the power to change unfair laws and end corrupt corporate practices still lies with individual ABILITY to vote…Until the 60's, this power was concentrated in the hands of white men and later (1920's) white women…Since the Civil Rights Act, African Americans have continually lost voting power due to things like redistricting, unfair sentencing laws, racial profiling to include stop and frisk practices, and even the voter ID requirements some states have recently added… In business the biggest example of institutional racism is a practice called redlining…Redlining is just what it says…It's a red line that is drawn around certain sections on a city map where major lenders refuse business loans, where insurance providers won't insure, where supermarkets, restaurants, and retailers won't open stores…Where you ask?… Poor or poverty level communities with high crime rates, that's where…Prison privatization is another area where institutional racism exists because their main objective is not keeping criminals off the street or rehabilitating them, it's making money…This equals overcrowding, repeat offenders, and longer sentences all of which disproportionately affect African Americans…Redlining still exists in mortgage lending too…It's a lending policy that denies loans in certain urban areas with large minority populations because banks claim the risk is too high in spite of the credit worthiness of the applicant…There's more, but you get the picture… In public schools you get what you pay for…Those children living and attending school in lower class neighborhoods are offered inferior education when compared to that being offered to children living in middle, working, and upper class neighborhoods…It's a given and it's bracketed according to wealth and earning power... The reason so many white Americans deny institutional racism exists is because they never see it, they're insulated…Until both sides own up, institutional racism will continue to pit white against black and black against white…So while the masses that make up the lower, middle, and working class population beat on each other, the upper class stays in power...Truth... |

Again, mh. Ms Leigh I have to question the voter ID laws. Go to the bank to cash a check, they ask for id. I see a need for showing id's to vote. How can having to show an id be discrimination? |

Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought felons lose the rights to vote.
As far as obtaining id, a birth certificate and rent receipt will get an id. |

Aloolat101.
We are all right to a degree. MH posts have a history of supporting bigotry, separatism and anti-semitists. Not a condemnation, just a fact. |

To the best of my knowledge, A BC for anyone recorded as being born in the US can get a copy at a court house in the county they were born.
Same with the SSN. Can get one at any SS office. I got a certified copy of my BC through the mail. E-Verify should be in the voter registration office as well. As far as the voter id cards, I believe they should be photo and thumb printed cards. |

How can having to show an id be discrimination? cashing a check is transaction, voting is a right,,,big difference Lots or talk about rights. No mention of responsibility. Felons forfeit the right to vote. Should be the responsibility of the folks at the voting stations to verify the person is who they say they is. Along with photos any thumbprints on the voter id, when signing in to vote, they put their thumbprint next to their signature. Anyone caught with fraudulent cards or attempting voter fraud needs 10 years hard labor without parole. |

so many African Americans don't have proper identification or the means to acquire it
You are going to have to justify that claim. What makes black Americans incapable of acquiring ID? ...and because so many have felony convictions.
Uh, people have felony convictions because they choose to commit felonies, including white felons. If it isn't a problem for white felons to lose the right to vote, then why is it a problem for black felons to lose the right to vote? Are black felons supposed to have a right that white felons don't have? |
