Let us not forget what LBJ said especially when some whites bring up discrimination comparable to African-Americans:
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll...
Police misconduct has been going on since slave patrols (See:Slave Patrols: An Early Form of American Policing)
Is marijuana still illegal there?

I'm not sure if you remembered when I shared the story of walking home and being stopped by the police in my hospital scrubs, had my work badge placed on the hood of the cop car and sat in the back and had my name ran. His reason? Doing an investigation of a break in and I matched the...

Apparently you like to disagree just to disagree. Even in the brief discussion we've had you haven't posted facts about CRT in your defense which heavily discusses systemic racism. You've cited one "scholar" but hasn't disproven CRT in fact if universities across the country had an issue...
