An Interesting Take on BLM

[kandrathe]

This is pretty much exactly what I've felt all along, that for whatever reason, they create their own reality like a self fulfilling prophecy; pretty much in diametric opposition to FITs racist anti-white point of view.

FIT slam. In fairness, I remember his position was more that only whites could be racists. And, only POC suffer from racism.

I work daily with a guy who emigrated from Kenya. We've become good friends. I think he would agree in part with that video, but we have discussed the issue of institutional racism too. It is not overt. It's more like if given the option of hiring a white person with a seemingly squeaky clean suburban history or a non white person from a crime ridden part of town, the safe route is taken. Then also, we tend to learn about jobs from our social network which tends to include many people that look like us who grew up in similar places. In crime, it stems from unequal treatment by the police. Or, in other words, in both cases, prejudice.
