Fuck these people. Don't ever listen to them. Don't trust them. Always know they have an agenda and it isn't you and your families health.

They're fucking NPCs. They don't ever define this "systemic racism" or prove that it exists, they just SAY it exists and that's enough "proof" that it's real. Then the coronahoax bullshit... it may be a real virus but treating it worse than the bubonic plague and enacting fascist measures to control the people while they themselves ignore their own rules...

Yea it's funny just had a convo with one of my black friends about this systemic racism.
"Show me race is genetic!"
"Well let's you and me go stand in the sun all day and see who's worse for the wear after."
"Skin color is simple - can be changed in a generation. I mean complicated genes."
"Okay, well Lupus and Sickle cell are more common in blacks and cystic fibrosis more common in whites. Genetic diseases with several markers directly linked to race."
"Whatever they still follow generally Mendelian patterns, what about intelligence?"
"Well empirical data of racial IQ differences are well-known, and they transcend borders around the world so clearly they're not institutional. Here's a study in fact.
Look you've got no problem with black people excelling, nay dominating, at nearly all manner of physical competition globally, and despite the myriad of genes that go into musculature and coordination, suddenly difference in intellect is impossible?"
"(crickets)"
Don't get me wrong - he's a smart dude. But just like Ben Carson, Candace Owens, Jerome Adams, et. al... blacks who want to except themselves from niggerdom... he's in a transitional state where, despite his unquestionable successes in life, academic and otherwise, he still wants to insist that systemic oppression exists. All the aforementioned realized that excuses are the real systemic oppression, and the black community has no shortcomings of those.

So crazy that everyone just assumes those cops were racist and that they killed George Floyd because he was black. Maybe they were, but there was one black and one Asian cop there too.

There is systemic racism. Unquestionably so. It's called affirmative action and minority benefits. Whites are systemically discriminated and punished in our own countries.

After reading over the 4chan meme and later, the articles based on actual research discussing this seemingly widespread 'fact' that the majority of people do NOT have a "voice" inside their own heads, which they typically use to discuss strategies for solving a problem or observe behaviors of those around themselves... to much surprise to many of us goats here, thats for sure, i remember those comments and posts by users who were surprised or satisfied and even joyful, now that they knew they were not strange or something was wrong, others were sad when realizing how many friends and family members were in fact zombies or npc's... and the hilarious response by practically all liberal bloggers and 'journalists' and reporters, who independently seemingly each had the SAME response they felt they the need to share on social media, genuinely either proving the theory or at least adding additional evidence... what joy those days had laid out for us!

What's really gonna bake your noodle, is when you start thinking along the lines of terrorism. - Systemic Racism is their mental "ISIS" - They created it. They funded it. They nurtured it. They stoke fear of it. They police people's opinions of it. - It's a fucking terrorist ideology that was manufactured. - They ARE the systemic racism. These sick fuckers are diabolical. Never let up. I'm old. I'll die before headway is made. But I pray every day, that there are heroes among the young.

Not to be a grammar Nazi but it's "Fuck these niggers." Not "Fuck these people." Huge difference between the two.

That’s a difference in opinion about the choice of subject, not a matter of incorrect grammar, you absolute moron.

Yep. I always knew this but now I really know it. Trust no one except yourself when it comes to you and your family's health. The entire virus timeline experts, politician, and the media were saying "it's no big deal", "just stay 6 feet away and wear a mask", or "everyone should stay home" but they don't know a fucking thing. Anyone that does actually know has an agenda. Use your own judgement.
