This very comprehensive article has a tremendous amount of information and statistics on the misuse of affirmative actions and quotas, especially in higher education. It shows that a Social Science test that purportedly measures "implicit racism" is probably NOT reliable or valid. The author then uses various stats to show that "systemic or institutional racism" does NOT exist and any differences in perception are simply the result of well-deserved stereotypes.

Elite sounding BS
Because all human being are not equal in merit. As long as employment is based on merit, one will see that blacks are in low end even if racism is eradicated

The reason, according to implicit-bias researchers, lies deep in our brains, outside the reach of conscious thought.

Thank you for the condensed version, but may I try it further?

Trying to divine and manipulate man’s darker impulses has been analyzed, discussed and abandoned for millennia. It only results in people being tortured and abused with little or no effect. Believing anything else is naive.

I understand, criminal based policing is biased by definition.

I'm offended that they would say I'm unconsciously a racist.

I'm fully aware of my racism.

How dare they!!

Humanity is prone to a lot of sins.

Racial “clubbiness” is one of them. And God does hate it, and loves cross-racial fellowship.

However, where secular liberalism has gone with the concept is all warped. Without a living God in the picture to establish a sense of proportion, they make mountains out of molehills and vice versa.

A real racist would love to read all that. I didn’t, so that makes me not a racist. QED

Without God being known and feared, the devil will walk away with such situations.

It’s possible to think “liberally” about this and yet in a godly way.

There are certain ways of doing things that black people are better at overall (of course with all kinds of messy exceptions). A model of business that evolved among white people might not be the best for most black people. Or vice versa! Here is where a godly liberal view can help. The two societies can mix and support one another, acknowledging their relative fortes. What is really silly is the secular liberal idea of coming up with some pale-tan way of homogenizing society.

I could have saved her a few THOUSAND words:
For MOST of us, it’s not RACIAL... IT’S CULTURAL!!

It’s the same reason Hollywood Harvey is now the social outcast he SHOULD have been 30 years ago, thanks largely to the liberals covering his fat, perverted ass!

Didn’t bother to read it.

Just one question, it is Illegal to be a Racist now?

Then again, why would I care of some Moron thinks I’m a Racist because my Parent’s happened to be White?

Obama is apparently a half Racist, but it didn’t come from the White side of his Family. He is a full Commie though. That came from both sides of his Family.

Two racists walked into a bar. You’d think the second would have ducked. Now, they are both unconscious racists.
