How does “institutional racism” compare to "systemic racism"?

When will we hear about "intrinsic racism" and "elemental racism" and "integral racism" and "ingrained racism" and "fundamental racism" and "indigenous racism" and "natural racism" and "native racism" and "thorough racism"?

These people are digging deep into their thesaurus.

Apparently from all the woke hollyweirdos social media groveling, they believe that they are. They should give all their mansions, money and step out of their so-called “careers” for reparations.

Garecetti just fit the suit. The Democrats are searching for foot soldiers for the future because they have no bench of candidates for the future. Soros has at least one growing in every state.

Has Eric the Flake ever thought about the large amount of money LA spends on sanctuary cities and non on the homelessness caused by high taxes?

“Institutional racism is a leading cause of homelessness in Los Angeles.

The humiliating assumption that we are too stupid to do STEM, that we need special help and lower requirements to get ahead in life, is richly familiar to us. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to deal with open fascists, who at least would be straightforward in calling me a subhuman, and who are unlikely to share my race. The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating.

He should know, he has been at the forefront of Institutionalized Systemic RACISM his Whole Life.

‘Institutional Racism’ while enforcing Institutional Racism via everything from Affirmative Action, allowing in millions of illegals in our country to providing Sanctuary for them.

The way it works is if do rightly oppose all racism and thus do not denigrate a class of people due to the color of their skin then you will be called racist (if the class is a politically incorrect one), even though imputing guilt to a class of people due to the color of their skin is sin.

Likewise if you support hiring the best person for the job, regardless of skin color, then you will called racist.

Also, if you do acknowledge that being born with certain attributes and environment can give you an advantage over others, which thus means more is expected of you than those who have less, but you point out that this applies to all races. And thus being born with DNA that enables those of one race to be disproportionately become wealthy professional sporting figures in America and criticize their ingratitude, then you will be called a racist, no matter how disadvantaged you physically may be from birth.

And likewise, if you define injustice as having been born in a time and country in which you are benefited by multitudes of blessings that you did not earn, from running water (and toilets) to electricity and refrigeration to home heating systems to welfare programs, and criticize the victim-entitlement culture while you oppose racism, then you will called racist.

And if you argue that the problems among the politically correct race is much that of culture vs. color, and make a distinction btwn recent immigrants and their native-born racial brethren[1], you risk being called racist or member of the politically incorrect race.

Also, if you state that the vast majority of homicides among a certain politically correct culture have been by members of that American culture[2][3] then that will likely be called racist or as due to racism,.

And if you show that the decline of the traditional family of that politically correct culture has resulted in more crime[4] then that will likely be called racist or as due to racism.

If you argue that most every immigrant class in America has faced discrimination but overcame such by industriousness, versus being baptized with the victim-entitlement mentality and its seduction of welfare as a justice, the then that will likely be called racist.

Similarly, if you do not equate behavior with race, and fail to support homosexual relations (despite the well-documented overall negative consequences of it) you will be labelled homophobic, even though sanctioning such out of fear of being called homophobic by the homosexual lobby is being homophobic.

More examples can be given, but what the devil does is pervert what God has created and ordained, which includes making people feel guilty over something they has no part in, while not feeling guilty for what they actually are guilty of.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. (Colossians 3:11)

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. (2 Corinthians 5:15)

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (1 Peter 3:18) Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (1 Peter 3:22)

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43)

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; (Acts 3:19)

By blaming racism for a problem that is largely white he is stereotyping homeless people as people of color....Proving that HE is the racist.

Wyoming the reddest state in the country has 876 homeless. That tells me all their needs to be said. Blue states are a disaster!!!!! Red states don’t seem to have homeless problems nearly as bad.

Explain “Institutional or Systemic Racism” with real examples NOT emotional drivel.

It seems someone has coined a motto to excite everyone to a cause not a reality. If the folks that claim this would stop and THINK for a change they would find that there are a great many productive Americans in this country that also are black. These are people that did it the right way, which is education and hard work.

I know that work is not a word in the vocabulary of those that chose to live their lives as victims but that is what it takes.

In Los Angeles County, where 8 to 9 percent of the population is African American, a third of all people experiencing homelessness are black.”

So what of the 67% who are not?
Any reporter ask the liar?
