There are rarely any discussion of specific laws and more times than often just a bland systemic racism or white privilege.
It’s not a coincidence that other races or not affected by this systemic racism or that there are multitudes of successful black people under this same system.
All of these random acts of violence always seem to be black on white. I'm about to start carrying a pocket pistol and being prepared to unload 10 rounds. In fact, I think come July 1 nobody in TN has to have a CCP so that should open the door for some more citizen vs thug encounters to benefit the citizens.Dude just trying to beat the white privilege out of her. That’s all. He was helping her get woke.
What rules do you feel are causing systemic racism that needed to be changed?
The primary issue I work towards understanding and trying to find a solution is school funding. The primary way of funding schools in the US is through property taxes. This gives poorer communities little ability to affect change and improve the situation for their students.
As for the conversation part, we must be willing to sit down with those who feel they are disenfranchised and earnestly listen to the why and how. Not with the intention of replying or responding or changing or even agreeing but with a desire to understand where they are coming from.

Here is what I see..... it doesn’t matter whether it’s black, white, rich, or poor..... if someone is not satisfied with their life..... they talk in generalities and blame other people when it starts at home and in communities..... you could put a million dollars into some of these schools and the community will tear it down from within.The primary issue I work towards understanding and trying to find a solution is school funding.

I would disagree. I live in a more affluent community in TN and they dump a great deal of money into the school system that the rest of the county doesn't receive. There is a huge discrepancy between what the county spends per pupil than what the city does and it shows in the test scores and the college admissions.Property taxes are collected throughout a municipality and are shared equally. More affluent communities do not get more tax funding for education than less affluent communities. If that was happening they would lose in court.
Seems strange that you feel the need to add a caveat with your disapproval. Curious how her speech is any different than a white supremacist saying he/she fantasizes about killing blacks? What would you say if someone said they disapproved of violence but understood that white supremacist's frustration? Wrong is wrong. Hate is hate. There is no justification for her comments.I unequivocally disagree with her desire to do harm, but I understand where she is coming from in her frustration with the lack of conversation.
Any attempts to engage in discussion about laws, practices, or rules that may create an unlevel playing field with those who benefit from them is almost immediately shut down or met with derision. There are several here, displayed in thousands of posts, who refuse to believe there could even be a possibility of a systemic unlevel playing field.

The least "capable" of my coworkers were the ones that went to "elite" colleges. They felt entitled and didn't feel like they had to do what us common morons had to do. If I could **** one of those bastards in the eye socket I would.The municipality does not use public funds inequitably. The most affluent don’t even consume public education dollars. They chose private schools which takes nothing from the less affluent communities and in reality leaves more tax funding for the less affluent. I don’t think that private education should be eliminated because I’m butt hurt for having to settle for my public school education.
