Sanders: African-Americans lost half their wealth because of Wall Street collapse

Actually, we spend more on black/hipsnaic students, but nice try. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2011/04/The-Myth-of-Racial-Disparities-in-Public-School-Funding#_ftn3 There was a study done on this, on average we spend more on Asian/Hispanic/Black students than we do white students.

This is a Heritage Foundation think tank paper that is cherry picking datum from the 2006-2007 Department of Education report, whereas my link shows ACTUAL DATA from the 2011-2012 Report directly from the Department of Education. The Heritage paper you cited, actually shows that minority students had greater need for funding than white students, and included things like remedial education, English as a Second Language, and other classes to inflate the numbers so that they washed out with those from white students.

This is a horrible, horrible paper, and you should have read it before you linked to it.

I actually said by total number there are more poor white people under the poverty line, and there are. Meaning that if poverty were to blame, white people would be higher in crime rates/school problems. But they still finish more.

You did not infer any greater meaning other than to say that numerically speaking there were more white people beneath the poverty line. Stop trying to retcon your original statements to give it more meaning that it originally held. You posted a factual statement that implied a that one group was simply failing despite another fact. That was not only untrue percentage wise, but was a terrible way to bolster your argument.

6% of the population is behind 40% of the violent crime and 52% of the murder. You tell me.

Irrelevant to the discussion about education. Take that bullshit elsewhere.

No, this is you not understanding the definition of racism and trying to use the SJW definition. The actual definition of racism is what I said, it's just racism. Did you think this was going to fly? You can't change the definition of racism, let me copy paste it.

If you're going to use the dictionary definition of racism, rather than the practical application of it, you're going to lose on pedantic grounds alone.

There is no terminology for systemic institutionalized racism that spans generations. Disenfranchisement doesn't even come close to it. So yes, the definition of racism has expanded beyond the basic principles that can be found in a dictionary. That same dictionary that states that bigotry can only be perpetrated under religious guises, and that discrimination is only based upon physical characteristics of a person.

So what you experienced, what your experience, but it is neither the statistical, logistical, or environmental norm for everyone else in this country. Just because you experienced a fraction of what black people experience EVERY FUCKING DAY, does not make you the victim of racism. It should have made you at least somewhat more understanding.
