As for the "racism" of those statistics you showed me. LOL That's not race my friend.
It's men being targeted. Men are targeted for stop and searches, arrested more, profiled, suspected, charged, prosecuted, sentenced and given harsher sentences at much higher rates than women. Race only factors in when dealing with men in high crime neighborhoods (they tend to be black neighborhoods so there's an overrepresentation of black men in these numbers. If you're committing crime you'll be in confrontation with police more often). That's the only bit of racism that might be in existence in modern America. And it stems from police and the law targeting MEN. I mean, the rates of men in prison compared to women, arrested and killed by police etc. are astronomical. But leftists don't care because that's not apart of the narrative as 'men = bad'. Feminism is directly responsible for perpetuating racism within the criminal justice system in this way.
And unemployment is my problem how? Get a job. That's not racism that's bad parenting, lack of emphasis on schooling and laziness.

Please stop using the word "leftist" so many times. You are just making it an "us verse them" mentality, which is not productive. I have treated you with respect and have tried to have a productive conversation.
Anyways, yes, class and race do intersect. But even poor black men are more likely to go to jail than poor white men. If you click the links I provided and read in detail, they prove that. You are right, education plays a big role in racism. Look at how poorly funded school with majority black students are compared to schools with overwhelmingly white students. That has to do with the way we fund schools. The creates and recreates racism/poverty. Another link I posted (I'm on mobile now or I would repost it) illustrates that black men with high school degrees have the same prospects as white men without high school degrees. The same is true for black men with bachelors degree compared to white men with some college (associates degrees). It's not just economic. Of course they intersect, but it's not just about poverty.
No, black people are not lazy. No, they are not bad parents. No, feminism did not cause mass incarceration, or racial inequality. That makes no sense. How can the disproportionate prison rates in gender cause the disproportionate rate in regards to race? If we assume that men and women are 50/50 of the population, and if men are targeted by more, then race should still be proportionate amongst the entire population. But it's not. Your gender argument doesn't apply to racial prison rates.
Yes, white feminism is a problem, but feminism. But feminism does not make racism worse. You're just making things up now. You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. You are touching on some of society's gender stereotypes and gender roles, but you are going in the wrong direction. For example, the gender disparity in prisons existed long before the 1960s feminism.
What you are saying about BLM is the same thing people said about civil rights activists throughout US history. We have made progress by addressing issues, and we will make progressive by doing it again. In fact, polls show more Americans are aware of racism now then 10 years ago.
Your most honest comment is "that's not my problem". You are right it's not. That's why it is racism. When black people face problems that white people don't, that's literally racism. Do you really think racism doesn't exist, then you are going to argue that it exists against white people? Like how are both of those compatible?
What kinda mental gymnastics, white people face plenty of problems that black people don't..are you going to call that racism too? And then what will you call it when members of the same race face different problems? Life is ****** for over 99% of people.
