Institutionalized racism is very, very real.

Edit: I had a comment ask for evidence based examples but deleted the comment before I had the chance to answer,. So, here is come examples. Note, some of these examples are before 2000, but I find that they still apply.

Political Inequality

Employment Inequality

Effect on black health.

Effect on black education.

There are plenty more examples. Google Scholar and JSTOR are some great examples as to where to find some journals about it. JSTOR offers up to 6 free articles a month, I find it very useful for research at university.

Remember, being ignorant is a choice.

Edit 2: The wonderful u/theresamouseinmyhous shared this link about more history of institutional racism. There are 14 parts with the podcasts lasting roughly 45 minutes to an hour. Thanks for the suggestion!

made up definition peddled by post modernist in a misguided attempt to level the playing field

Okay, so he said that the made up definition of institutionalized racism wasn't real and you said that institutionalized racism totally was, though he was talking about the botched definition the person gave?

Person A mentions institutionalized racism. Person B says it is made up. In no way does he mention Person A's own definition. Do better.

When he says "Made up" he isn't referring to the thing (industrialized racism) but he's referring to the definition, he's saying their definition of it is made up.

Oh my good lord. My point still stands no matter how long you argue it.

I'm not arguing with some rando on reddit whose feigning for some type of arousal through arguing over the internet. You want to be right just to be right, even though nothing you have said has held any ground. I don't care. You're a waste of time.
