Did you really just ask a Native American, a race that has almost been completely eliminated due to genocide, if I ever met racism…. seriously!? I was meaning that the ruling of the school that suspended the child regardless of the Crown Act was wrong.
Completely agree fromt he get go, the rule itself was wrong, and the choice of the school to enforce it also wrong. This would be true regardless of any racial component but doubly so if there was some racial bias at play as well (which is likely). You want to understand “why it disproportionately affects Blacks, when it should not.” It’s because there are NO good reasons outside of racism and having rules that can and will be arbitrarilarly & disproportionately enforced by racists at will. It’s because of racism
That is perfectly fair, and I said exactly this early on and agree with you. The problem is by this logic all rules of any kind and of any nature are wrong because racists will ultimately be the ones applying it… My point is that if the rule itself isnt racist (and im not even convinced of that mind you) then fine, lets just admit that and focus on the problem of racists applying rules, which would seem to be the real problem… however if it is racist in addition to racists also applying it then we (and specifically me) should better understand why it is racist so we can better see and identify other rules that are racist.
This is supposed to be about learning and attacking people and calling them sealions when someone makes a sincere attempt to understand another POV and consider it as one they may want to adopt… that hurts everyone on the side of good here, everyone.
