that you think this is why you're missing the point. the year is 2020, it has been 80 years since explicit racism has ended in law, and we still see its presence in our population

of forgeten course BLM isn't combating segregated drinking fountains or slavery because we don't face these problems in america. instead we enjoy very significant discrepancies in wealth, pay, crime, discrimination, and poverty as a result of solutions to these problems having been ignored for nearly a century sheerly out of pride and defensiveness. this is systemic racism, and this is what is being protested.

re: all lives matter--aide's point is that it's deflection and an attempt to find a moral highground by those saying the same message as BLM, and misconstruing BLM to be supremacy. "all lives matter" is a movement actively opposing BLM, serving absolutely no point but for those a part of it who use it as a vehicle for further discrimination or to keep measures of systemic and institutionalized oppression of nonwhites in place
And if no hard-line laws or legal systems are causing these differences the issue must lie elsewhere.
It's likely to do with the asinine "intelligence == wealth" nonsense that the education system runs into people's minds. The "Got to go to college or you'll live in a box/van" mindset is insane. Like you're damned if you don't get a college degree. But because of its difficulty to obtain people complained and pushed college requirements further and further down. Even, yes, including racial profiling systems to enable people to succeed based on race. You're also damned if you do go to college.
But this ignores the fact that the world is not made up of people who's jobs revolve around college degrees. Trades cannot be learned in a traditional college environment. And alongside that, because of the dumbing down of college, the value of a degree is constantly dropping.
And this is also my forget you to the "Then dont get a gender studies degree LMFAO." handicaps. Getting a job in a growing industry with a degree is insanely hard Because of:
A. Completion growing
B. The value of a degree decreasing as it becomes more common.
C. The value of a degree decreasing as it's reputation becomes destroyed by making it stupid easy to get one.
This has made the differences worse, not better. Seriously, forget the "college or my life is over" mindset. Because the reality is, If you choose college now, and you're not going to an ivy league or an exceptionally well known school, you're not going to get a job. And if you do go to an ivy league school, you might get one, but don't count on it.
