No. The onus is on you to show that systemic racism is a thing of the past.
I said MAYBE. Did you see that? I said that I don't know. I don't have proof either way. I DON'T KNOW. I suspect you don't know either. It is fun to be on the bandwagon though, isn't it?
Joe’s right. I don’t know why I ever clicked to see your posts. It’s just the same old bullshit with you.
Yep, put the blinders on when challenged. I said that I don't know either way so I guess that makes me a racist. Good day to you sir.

Can you show us your work (so far)?
When you say you've seen no evidence of a god but you're open to seeing the evidence, why would it be your onus to provide no evidence? Or how does that make you anti-god? When you say you have evidence of a god but you're unwilling to share the evidence, it makes you look like a liar. If it's a matter of faith, fine. But you just have to say that.

So the answer is no, you can't.
Yep. There might be a god or gods and there might be systemic racism. There also might be a talking jelly fish in my bedroom. Anything is possible. I'm open to it.

Someone arguing that systemic racism isn't a thing in America is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on this board. I've been here off & on since 2003. Just wow.

Give me an example of systemic racism in America.
