[QUOTE="zephcom, post: 74314954, member: 400000"] Poppycock. <aside: I am so glad that word was created> Institutional racism is not defined as you suggest. Institutional racism is when the institution provides opportunity for human beings to exercise their racism in the administration of the institution. For instance, if a company accepts applications for jobs but doesn't black out the name of the applicant (applicant names provides zero information as to the qualification of the applicant) before the person makes a decision on the application, institutional racism exists. Studies have been done which indicates that the EXACT applications with a white name gets more attention than when it is submitted with a minority name. The INSTITUTION provided the opportunity for an individual to exercise racism. Another for instance, laws which allow judges to give people convicted of crimes variable sentences is the institution providing individuals the opportunity to exercise racism. That is how a rich white kid can get probation for a drug offence which usually results in a poor Black kid getting a thirty year sentence. The INSTITUTION provided the means for racism to be exercised in its name. America is a master at creating 'equality' which is not equal at all. It is the responsibility of the institution to create its rules in a manner in which racism (or sexism) is simply not possible. Then it doesn't matter whether the person administering the rules is a racist or not because they are expected to follow the rules applied to them or they get fired. [/QUOTE]
