It's almost like you won't venture any further analysis because you know your actual beliefs re: black families are obviously racist. Weird.

Pelosi's district is 6.3% black.

You picked Pelosi because you're a grab bag of tired right-wing talking points.

I’m willing to change my mind if confronted with enough evidence to the contrary of my belief, like most reasonable people, but I haven’t read anything persuasive as of yet. 

Pelosi is the minorty leader of the United States House of Representatives, stop being naive.

People are tribalistic and will never stop being so. The goal is not to fix the human condition, which is literally impossible, it is to mitigate the most damaging aspects of our social flaws.

Your belief as to what is the cause behind the dissolution of the black family is not even stated, much less backed by evidence.

Your argument is literally, "I don't know, but it's not racism!"

If not, give me a number.

I don’t believe 75% of black children were born out of wedlock in 2017 due to racism, no. I think that’s silly. 

Considering that she was voted in as minorty leader by members with larger minority constituencies, yes I believe she has influence.

Racism has definitely played a role in creating the society in which 75% of black children were born out of wedlock.

I refuse to accept responsibility( and your dumptruck load of guilt) for it.

 

Every man has basic fundamental choices to make in life, and when they continuously choose the wrong things, it's not on me to get em through it.

 

That doesn't mean I am not generous, compassionate, and charitable.  Those things happen without the bullshit guilt trip though. I understand someone being down in life.  I've absolutely lived it.  Eventually, every man must take responsibility for what's happening though. If you want your situation to change, start making better choices in life.  Stop blaming the other guy.

In your opinion, what is "being racist?"   Overt acts?  Subtle acts?  Just being white? Any act contrary to the perceived general wishes of another race?

I agree with Ibram Kendi on this: being racist is regarding one racial group as being inferior or superior to another racial group in any way.

I have no problem with that. I don't believe any one race is better or worse than another.  Stamped from the Beginning seems to be an inetetsing book.  

Just reading and agreeing with a book's premise does not make non-racist.  We all have some in us to a degree. All of us.

You're being purposefully obtuse, but here we go anyway...

If Person A and Person B both want to buy the same house, but Person B saw it first and applied for the same loan at the same bank with the same financial situation and is denied, but then Person A is granted the loan and purchases the home. Did Person A benefit from the denial of Person B?

Simple question. Please answer.

Apply online dumbass. Or is Skynet racist as well.

maybe rocket mortgage is racist. You seem to want to reset race relations back 50 years so you can feel good about your white guilt and how progressive you are.
