Why is guilt such a large part of western culture?

[Zython]

None of this is true, but why would that stop you when counter evidence is so obvious and the narrative you hold is so emotionally important?

The US incarceration rate peaked in 2008 when about 1 in 100 US adults was behind bars.[26] This incarceration rate exceeded the average incarceration levels in the Soviet Union during the existence of the infamous Gulag system, when the Soviet Union's population reached 168 million, and 1.2 to 1.5 million people were in the Gulag prison camps and colonies (i.e. about 0.8 imprisoned per 100 USSR residents, according to numbers from Anne Applebaum and Steven Rosefielde).[36][37] Some of the latter Soviet Union's yearly incarceration rates from 1934 to 1953, however, likely were the world's historically highest for a modern age country[38]. In The New Yorker article The Caging of America (2012), Adam Gopnik writes: "Over all, there are now more people under 'correctional supervision' in America—more than six million—than were in the Gulag under Stalin at its height."[39]

On an average, 39 black people were lynched per year under Jim Crow. In 1892, the worst year, 161 black Americans were lynched.

More than a century later, the numbers have hardly improved. In 2015, 258 black people were killed by US police, representing over 26% of deaths.

I'll be awaiting your apology.

You can't even be a progressive without judging people based on demographic checkboxes. Every progressive and Democrat is a racist and a sexist by default, as they reject the logic of MLK. Republicans may have bigots among them, but at least it isn't 100 percent like Democrats.

Right the real racist party isn't the party calling nazis and white nationalist fine good people... its the democrats... for.... "reasons" meanwhile black church, mosque, and synagogue shootings would like to speak to you.

"republicans may have bigots among them but at least it isn't 100%"

tell me what specifically is racist about democrats?

That they act like black people are lesser beings, they talk to them like they are not as smart as white people.

Oh you have studies?! post the fucking studies.

Claims such as:

"The party of mostly older white people that have a strong bastion in the south where defense of the people who broke away from the USA to own slaves and constantly rewrite history totally is the least racist party" is just an interesting claim.

Just google, its not hard.
Democrats acts like black people need help, republicans acts like they are americans like everyone else.

Post fucking study sources, you can't because your argument is full of shit.

"the party of 83% white non-hispanic people is the most diverse loving party!"

52 percent of voters who supported Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election believed blacks are “less evolved” than whites, according to researchers at the Kellog School of Management.

Oh yeah!! gotta love that Republican Party! over half think blacks are less evolved ,literally not as "evolved" as whites but please do tell me how republicans are the party of racial equality.

Nearly twice as many Republicans than Democrats (42 percent versus 24 percent) believe that blacks are lazier than whites, according to the same NORC poll.

Oh yeah!! gotta love them republicans!

Want to see the where that study comes from lol

Well the one saying that the earth is flat, is the one that should prove it.

You haven't posted a source you're argument is entirely full of shit you won't post a source you say "google" well google doesn't agree with you.

A single study saying there are some racist liberals is what you're using to say that democrats are more racist than republicans?

In the link I posted 24% of democrats said blacks are just lazier than whites while 42% of republicans do.

No one said there are no racist democrats you're sitting here claiming that Democrats are more racist than republicans you've literally not proven shit.

Well you have proven that americans are racist assholes.

And that republicans are the most racist party comparing the two...

there are going to be racist people regardless, but trying to say that the democrats are the most racist is just a lie.

Ok. I googled it and found this.

Who care if 1/4 of even the "good" guys are racists then america is horrible.

The big problem is with people that dont understand that the differance isnt race or gender its class. Poor white men have more in common with poor women or black or asian. Then with rich women, black or asian.

White people are racist. You cracked the fucking code!

Everyone is racist, its part of how the brain works. But class is a bigger devide then race, you dont see people being racis against rich people. I could explain better if i thought you cared.

Black generations have only gotten poorer and less educated since the end of Jim Crow(relative to whites). That's not an endorsement of Jim Crow, but Jim Crow had nothing to do with single motherdom which is rampant in the black community. Among married couples Black and White poverty are relatively the same. Jim Crow was awful and I'm glad its gone but replacing Dad with Uncle Sam is probably the biggest failure disproportionately affecting Blacks in the US.

Way to misinterpret and twist facts with a straight face. You're attempting to oversimply complex systemic issue.

[Kraenen]

I'll be awaiting your apology.

Let's just remember what you said:

It's interesting that you're claiming that the West(TM) solved slavery and lynching when the US has a larger percentage of the population locked up than the Gulag Archipelago, and police are murdering black people at a rate higher than the peak of Jim Crow-era lynchings.

What was your original point? Lynchings even in Jim Crow (0.002%), and police deaths currently (6.7*e-4), are just a non-issue. The numbers have actually gone DOWN in per capita, so it's interesting you just avoid giving that stat. Your paragraph on the archipelago is equally pointless when discussing actual slavery. I guess your point really could've been just "it's interesting that the west ended slavery and lynching", but I thought there was more to it than laziness.
