When references are made to institutionalized racism, this is what is meant.

I think Americans have every right to make up their own mind about who they should hire

Your defense of discrimination is noted.

I'll defend discrimination all day long. Discrimination is a vital part of staying alive.

Racism, not so much.

I find your justification for discriminatory practices as strained as they are telling.

Its based on reports in the news

Other once unpopular racial groups have earned respect such as the chinese, koreans and japanese

Whites didnt just wake up one morning and change their mind about them

East asians earned that respect

Your defense of discrimination is noted.

No one was discriminated against in the survey. Fake applications were sent out to hundreds of employers, and they were able to discern and dispose of the fakest of the applications, where the fake applicants also faked their race, at a significantly higher rate.

Not surprising at all.

The more fake you are, the easier you are to see through.

Institutional racism, or systemic racism, is going on today..............as the study shows.

No it doesn't. It shows that discrimination is going on today. Not necessarily based on race. Parents give their children names that reflect the homelife and upbringing those children are given. Jamal Jones comes with a set of assumptions about HIS racial attitudes and beliefs. Boom-Boom La Tour is not going to get a job teaching second grade no matter how white or nerdy. Beauregard Cleghorn is just not going to be a top pick for the NAACP even if he is as black as Whoopie Goldberg.

The study is complete hogwash, designed and written for the very, VERY weak minded.

Who wants to hire people who are illiterate or dont know how to do their job properly?

Horror stories like that taint all black people with suspicion

What Researchers Discovered When They Sent 80,000 Fake Résumés to U.S. Jobs​

A group of economists recently performed an experiment on around 100 of the largest companies in the country, applying for jobs using made-up résumés with equivalent qualifications but different personal characteristics. They changed applicants’ names to suggest that they were white or Black, and male or female — Latisha or Amy, Lamar or Adam.

On Monday, they released the names of the companies. On average, they found, employers contacted the presumed white applicants 9.5 percent more often than the presumed Black applicants.

Yet this practice varied significantly by firm and industry. One-fifth of the companies — many of them retailers or car dealers — were responsible for nearly half of the gap in callbacks to white and Black applicants.

Two companies favored white applicants over Black applicants significantly more than others. They were AutoNation, a used car retailer, which contacted presumed white applicants 43 percent more often, and Genuine Parts Company, which sells auto parts including under the NAPA brand, and called presumed white candidates 33 percent more often.

Some companies discriminated against Black applicants much more than others, and H.R. practices made a big difference.

It doesn't mean overt, extreme racism is rampant in America. It's existence is much more subtle and insidious than that. Some people may exhibit signs of racism subconsciously. Or not consider it to be racism at all.

What is much more difficult to measure than the job discrimination this study reveals is the affect on blacks in America. To what extent has it caused the economic and educational disparities that exist given what some call systemic racism has been going on for centuries.

Because where making money is necessary for survival and is contingent upon success, a business can’t survive on feelings. They’ll need the most qualified.
Duh
By contrast, a kid sending out college applications receives exponentially more offers if he lists his race as black. Fact.

Discrimination is a very good thing. It means not accepting everything at face value.

I don't think you get to whine about liberals crying "racist" if you actually are a racist.

 

[The Duke]

I think people like you are an impediment to the assimilation of black people.

Assimilation? Blacks have been part of America since the beginning.

They're not from some foreign land and have to get used used to our society, they're part of it already.

IMO, the whole thing proves that no matter what rules are instituted, they're always going to be skirted at times.

But "assimilation" of the good things that blacks have created (i.e. barbecue, blues music) is "cultural appropriation".

With the terminally guilty shitlibs, you're a dirty, poopy-pants WACIS! no matter what you do.

 

[berg80]

Assimilation? Blacks have been part of America since the beginning.

And since the beginning they have been treated differently. Ever hear the term separate but equal, Jim Crow, Plessy v Ferguson, Brown v Board of Ed.?

Are you of the belief that racism ended when the Civil Rights Act was passed? Or when Obama was elected?

Nope. They have separated themselves from America and increase that separation daily. They invent another language, adopt another national anthem and have created separate organizations for every facet of life. It is obvious that there is no interest in assimilation.
