Recent events have sparked a lot of conversations about race and police in America. But 成人X站 Radio’s Ron Upshaw has noticed a lot of conversations missing the mark.

“Here鈥檚 the thing I heard people misunderstanding this point — institutional racism doesn鈥檛 mean that the exact officer that happened to was racist,” Ron said. “He may have been, but that鈥檚 not what institutional racism is. And it鈥檚 not whether or not the are racists, that鈥檚 not the concept.”

What’s important to understand, Ron said, is that one incident or one person is merely is symptom of a much larger problem — a system that is in place in America. And it’s that big picture that people need to understand.

“If you鈥檙e playing roulette, on any given day you can go in there and play hot for an hour and walk out of there with a lot of money. It doesn鈥檛 mean you are the greatest roulette player in the world, it means that you are on that hour. But over the course of a long time, a lot of spins, the casino is going to win every time. The deck is stacked, the wheel is against the patron 鈥� you鈥檙e going to lose over time.”

“When you are black in America, you are going to lose over time. That鈥檚 statistically proven over and over and over again. What does that mean? It means the system itself is biased against people of color. You cannot refute that. There are mechanisms in place right now in America. It鈥檚 not one individual officer, or one individual department. The system itself is biased against black and brown people 鈥� that鈥檚 where I want to start.”
