RACISM IN THE US, – SYSTEMIC OR SPECIFIC?

Could be either, or more likely, both, – and more.

Let me contribute with a couple of very personal experiences.

Some time ago I let myself into a discussion about alleged inferiority of black people, to which I objected, of course, relating my experiences with good examples, vs. some not so good regarding white reps of the human race. Then, this statement was supposed to nail me: “But Jorg, what if you had a daughter, who came dragging home an uneducated, lazy slob of a nigger?” To which I responded: “Why on Earth would I have a daughter who “came dragging home an uneducated, lazy slob” of any color?

Even I, as pure-bread white as they come, has been mistaken for a black person, based on a small photo of a very suntanned me in a right-wing web site, next to a few truthful statements about the worst WH inhabitant we have had in modern times. This commentator obviously knew everything about me, nailing me down pat:

Truly it pains me to say Jorg37, but you sir are a very ugly prejudice narrow minded, moronic bigot. Our greatest of all presidents, i.e., President Donald J. Trump, has put your people, the black people, back to work at a full employment as never before experienced in this or any other country on earth. You black folks are working, earning money for your labor (instead of being slaves like you were born to be) now, just like us “White Privileged” folks, a few of you are sitting in the tall cotten. I frankly find employing blacks deplorable and wish Trump wouldn’t have done that! It will put money in your hands and its a real fifthly shame because most of the money will go to the liquor stores and drug dealer’s instead of helping your little black niglets buy more drugs with so they can get high and kill more blacks! But you’ve probably already walked out on your family anyway haven’t you? I read where a Wallmart store was robbed last night by a gang of blacks, they took every thing in the store except “Father’s Day”, Hallmark Cards. Jorg37 you couldn’t be more right, someone is full of it, but its you my stinky little black stupid, utterly worthless, friend you are the one that’s full of shit. Instead of getting on your knees and thanking our President, and kissing his feet in gratitude, because he put your people to work, you bad mouth him, very smart of you! If I were this President I’d hunt you down and force those filthy freaken words down you black stinking throat along with your teeth! Get a life, nigger, grow up, better yet try to get a job like the rest of us caring, tolerant, open minded, kind hearted, loving white folks! I now understand why the KKK was started and exists yet today. And I completely understand the Down Southern style hospitality of black boy lynching’s of the 60’s. They say it was fun to watch buckwheat dance to the tune of the “Hangman’s Jig”, I now understand why it was so much fun for those southern boys to up-lift or lift-up, Buckwheat, Tyrone and Rasmus, and give their black necks a little stretching. I long for the return of the good old days and so do all of my white friend’s Jorg, you ought to watch what you say, the sins we do 1 by 1 come back to haunt us two by two, know what I mean Jorg? The day is coming quickly when we’ll have had enough of your crap and we’ll put an end to it. You morons are 12% of the population we are 85%, now we’ve about had it with you and your mouth.

If that’s not racism, what is? Lynching, or just old-fashioned voter restrictions?
