When will we know when equality is achieved?

When will we know when racial equality has been achieved? What quantitative numbers can we monitor to see how we are doing?

Because some of us have a brain that works.

A place to look may be when there are zero white actors in TV commercials. Alas, We are getting close just not there yet.

Doesn’t this prove that we haven’t had equality in the past? It doesn’t say anything about current equality, correct?

Racism is inescapable oppression. If a black person moves from the US to an African country to escape local racism, he finds his vote for President diminished on the international stage. That's because of racism. He has not escaped.

Racially proportionate global wealth and power. That's the mark.

"Equality" won't ever be achieved and cant ever be achieved.

But equal protection under the law is already achieved, been that way for decades, and thats a lot to achieve actually.

You won't ever have it to where broke people have it "equal" to wealthy people. The best you can do is try to improve your lot as much as you can and teach your children to have and do better than you. imo

Equality of what and using what as the control group?

The disparity of income and poverty status between single mothers and single fathers was investigated and discussed by Kramer et al. [1]. They explored the disparity in taxable income and poverty status between employed single mothers and single fathers using the US Census of Population and Housing, Public Use Microdata Sample from 1990, 2000, and 2010. They found that single mothers were more likely to be in poverty than single fathers. However, while the study was very informative, all of the explanatory variables (gender, race, number of children, age, marital status, work hours per week, weeks worked in the previous year, occupation score, and education) used in the analyses were statistically significant, leaving policy-irrelevant trivial associations.

Background: The American family structure has changed in the past few decades due to a rise in the divorce rate and unmarried women with children. Research suggests a salary disparity between men and women, especially for those women after ...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

NEVER. Just like women will never be happy. Just like Trumpists will never be happy.

People either go first 100% of the time in their life or they feel victimized and they will use any victimization label nearby.

A failed life or failed life event always results in screams of victimization.

It is what it is.

You're going to go through society and make sure all the races are doing equally as well?

LOL. No you're not.

When can we say that racism is not longer an issue? What measures do we have to know that racism is still a major problem in this country?

When can we say that racism is not longer an issue?

When identity politics goes away.

What measures do we have to know that racism is still a major problem in this country?

Identity politics.

Yes, that is what ecofarm is going to do. He's going to Angola tomorrow, to make it not racist. Austria is next Friday, but he may be there for a while. The Russia business may pose a bit of a problem for scheduling the whole Kaliningrad to Vladivostok thing.

Talk about



(And here I was thinking the derpy response was "oh so you want government to mandate salaries and quotas?!" and the like)

Identity politics.

How stupid. Like identity politics causes racism. What a ****ing racist thing to claim.

"We'll know racism isn't a problem anymore when I stop being victimized!"

****ing hell.

Identity politics.

So the answer to “how do we know when racism no longer exist in any meaningful way?” is “When the politicians tell us.”

Then how do we know racism still exists at a meaningful level? What is your indicator?

Racial equality? For who? There are always multiple races. In some countries one race is slaughtered like the Kurds - a huge group that has no state to call its own. In some countries are far more racist than the United States, Japan is one of them in my eyes. They are importing white Europeans because they have harmed themselves by prohibiting anybody from mingling with the Japanese genetic purity for a century. Then countries like Canada have done things like given land back to the indigenous people even though Yellowknife would suck to live in.

We need to remember that people say America is unfair and racist to WHITE people all the time. Conservatives love the victim narrative. They've been oppressed by young, angry black men and they're running around the country setting fires because they hate white people. More people understand that policies from slavery to jim crow to redlining created a discrepancy that spanned generations. It takes generations for things to balance out, and most of our government lived during Jim crow. That's not even one generation. Honestly, it's just not even time to ask this question. The question isn't wrong, but at this time? This time is wrong.

Does this mean you will admit systemic racism exists and is having a detrimental effect on people of color right now?

You said wealth accumulation. I said that represents past inequalities. Then you started talking about moving to Africa and repeated wealth accumulation…

Lets start with making it so the zipcode where you grow up isn't the single strongest indicator for your economic success.

The Opportunity Atlas uses census and IRS data to show what kinds of average outcomes children have as adults, based on where they grew up, and how those compare to average outcomes of children who grew up elsewhere - a study of 20 million Americans from childhood in the late 1970s and early 1980s to their mid-thirties in this decade.

The overall message is sobering: opportunity and social mobility still elude far too many people in far too many places. In nearly every place in the country, children whose parents were low-income tended to have poorer-than-average outcomes as adults.
