“Dr. Cosby said that!”

“…no, dr. King said that.”

Lmfao, from your article:

it seems more research exploring the role of structural forces (e.g., the labor market, policies, racism, etc.) would be a fruitful avenue for advancing our understanding of the enduring racial inequality in child poverty and the penalties attached to child poverty risks.

Even your article calls out that racism is a major factor that should be studied. Glad you agree.

Not the argument. Nor is there an argument here. The question could be boiled down to: are there more black single mothers? Yes, categorically, unequivocally yes. Doesn’t say anything about the fathers race though, granted. I kinda went by the fact that most couples are not “mixed race”. Which is a bit presumtous by me, but not a bad presumtion given history.

Haven’t made any claims of any reasons. Just that it is. And therefore the last statement in the meme is kinda meh and sticks out among the others.

Behind the Bastards did an early episode on it, I think The takeaway is that there isn’t some memo where Reagan cackles while saying he’s going to do it for these reasons, but there sure were a lot of CIA programs that actively encouraged cocaine and heroin being imported into the US while the drug war revved up simultaneously and AIDs got ignored.

No, it can only be white on black racism

Not shure, would say microaggressions are something intentional or at least come from dislikeing the other person. This examples are rude and hurtful but I dont think that they are intentionall and come more from prejudice and bias that people picked up over they life and most people probably doesn’t even recognize when doing so.

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

What is sad is that this will be viewed as normal and acceptable next year because saying it’s not acceptable is “woke.”

That’s a fantastic way to say it.

Not quite. I’m an asian american. And while I do witness racism often, its usually not the same racism as depicted in this comic. Theres is not much passive agressiveness at all, its either just yelling slurs, or they are just normal people. My comment probably got off the wrong impression. I’m not saying theres no racism, there is, a lot. But I never see these passive agressive racism. Its either overt racism with slurs involves, or they are normal people, lile there’s no in between.

My wife will hiss at me if I don’t caress her hair before sleepytime. I may have married a cat.

but then I read the married guy’s comment…

Kinda amusing that you didnt take this seriously until you had a white male confirm it for you.

Note: am white male, I just saw the irony (?) in the situation.

I haven’t heard that one, but they did like a crossover a year or two back with the Hood Politics podcast I believe that was a multi episode deep dive into the topic. Given how few details I apparently remember, probably worth a re-listen for me too, but you oughta give it a whirl!

I’ve found microaggressions mostly due to ignorance instead of malice. I’d classify these and your definition as such.

Cut me some slack Jack!

What’s the point you’re trying to actually make?

the last statement in the meme is kinda meh and sticks out among the others.

If it sticks out you’re missing the point of the chain of statements.
It’s not that the other statements are or are not statistically justified, it’s that making comments to people that are clearly being made because of their race and perceptions about their race is something that tends to happen regularly to black people and other minorities, and not so much to others.
