1. You said "perfecting the situation". That means perfect. You can't perfect the situation because your dealing with human beings. And you will never have perfecting relationships due to the the fact that we humans will always have extremist groups.
I retract that, though I'm skeptical you didn't edit that or otherwise misinterpret that word into it, when I was speaking about an ideal, not a perfect standard. We can improve, that has always been my argument, you seem to want to pin my position onto one quote when I've clearly stated it was not perfection in 99% of my statements, the 1% where I erred not the representation of all my statements. More cherry picking, what a shock
2. Better means building relationships, not tearing them down. Your sides rhetoric tears relationships apart and divides people. It does not build positive relationships. When you consistently blame and complain about a certain race you are divisive and encourage people to see others as their enemy who is holding them back.
Bull pucky, I'm not dividing anyone that isn't digging their heels in on authoritarian militaristic practices masquerading as "law enforcement". There is not a need to be this violent with criminals, it's more often someone that wants to have that rationalization as being a "good guy with a gun" that also happens to have authority and qualified immunity because of their badge.
I'm not complaining about only white officers, black officers do this as well, a white supremacist and white privileged society doesn't mean that all white people conform to a standard, same with black people, some will rebel against the status quo and some will conform because it protects their own interests and gets them advanced in society versus having any genuine integrity or compassion for people like them that are struggling.
3. You have no evidence for your claims. You have not presented any evidence of systemic racial problems that you claim exist.
Again, do you even understand what systemic means? We have to start with that before I bring forth evidence that you keep dismissing because you want to make it all about conscious choices when that isn't all we are as a society, there are aspects that don't have conscious decisions behind them, but ignorance and complacency.
4. You have not shown any evidence that white privilege actually exists and how it's systemic in holding black people back. This has been proven to you that it's not the case. Black people from other countries are very successful. That is proof that your systemic issue is false. If it were true these people would not be able to succeed. You have a false premise.
White privilege and systemic racism don't go hand in hand as if one causes the other, I never stated that.
Black people from other countries is you introducing an outlier to try and show the premise to be false, which is more cherrypicking fallacy.
You can succeed in a broken system if you have experience in another system entirely and are willing to sacrifice any sense of solidarity to get ahead in life. Or are legitimately ignorant of those issues, this doesn't have to be some either/or, you're splitting into black and white thinking (ironic)
5. You on the left absolutely have soft expectations of the black community. Your entire premise is built on the facts that blacks cannot succeed without white peoples help or bringing white people down. You do and say nothing to encourage black people that they can succeed. Instead you consistently offer excuses why they can't. You offer the same ole mantra of accusing us as stating that blacks are lazy. If that was so, why did I mention that they can be anything they want? We encourage them to pursue their dreams. What you do is tell them they can't because of the white man. You consistently beat the leftist drum of blaming instead of encouraging. Laziness is not the problem. The problem is they are constantly told by the Democratic party and the left that they can't. It's not that they are lazy. They don't pursue because they are lazy. They don't pursue their opportunities because they are told they can't succeed by the left due to other people standing in their way.
No, they can succeed by changing favoritism towards whites, both groups will get the fair access when there isn't the biases that treat blacks like they're going to be a "problem", same with the idea of being open to hiring disabled people, but never giving them a fair shake because they're "too much hassle to deal with"
They can pursue, that doesn't mean it will guarantee success given the situation you seem to want to deny because it makes you uncomfortable to think that there could be prejudices that manifest in a way you don't associate as racist with your narrow definition.
Encouragement does not come without warnings, otherwise you're encouraging naive optimism, which is as bad as harsh pessimism. You keep showing how needlessly polarized your thinking is, when I'm not making the claims you keep falsely attributing to me, or you take them out of context.
There can be problems and still encourage people to soldier onward, they aren't mutually exclusive. Trying to fix the broken system while moving forward in some way is not a contradiction, you're still insisting that people march lockstep with your voluntaryist nonsense, as if there can't be anything that poses a barrier to people's success based, in part, on how people perceive them based on the color of their skin or other stereotypes.
What exactly IS preventing more blacks from joining the middle class?\
Systemic lingering problems from redlining (which you apparently haven't learned about AT ALL), not to mention the war on drugs disproportionately affecting the black community, same with the for profit prison system disenfranchising them so they go right back into the prison system because they cannot get gainful employment and fail their parole hearings or the like.
