That's interesting because I'd already read what he wrote and I didn't see anything there where we disagreed, it was just a different emphasis, which is why I didn't worry about replying to his post. But hey maybe MrMallard himself will disagree and let me know if there's something in his post he believes I contradict in mine, or are you his spokesperson?

I'm not saying systemic racism may not exist, although yeah, that's debatable but more a matter of semantics. My point is that systemic racism isn't inherent in society, just as racism isn't inherent in individuals.

That post was ages ago, and I've already said what I said and basically exited the thread. I made my case, drained the bile per se, and left it as it is.

If y'all agree or disagree, or use the emphasis in my post to discredit others - I've kinda checked out of this thread, and I'm not gonna go back and re-soak my brain in the drama.

I appreciate it if you liked/agreed with it, but that was definitely a one-and-done sort of post for me :/
