Will leave you with one simple answer to your question - systemic racism. A system that was built to enslave and oppress black people is still rippling from the after effects today. This topic is a huge chew and there is a lot of information out there to look into it. Good luck, thanks? for the chat lads.

Why what? Do you want me to somehow agree with you that out performance on education/other economic measures somehow means they never experience discrimination or racism ever?
Why are you blatantly ignoring the racial group (blacks) that by far show the worst outcomes and often the heaviest consequences of racism and bias in favour of discussing the least impacted? What point are you actually trying to make here?

Is this projection or is there another reason why they do this? Very strange tactic, but as a last resort it does not help their point of view.

Even if I conceded that they are not an organisation, does it matter? People with their beliefs are constantly causing chaos in America, whether organised or not. Is the affect of a lone jihadist anyway minimized by the fact that they weren't getting their orders directly from ISIS? No, people still died because of said beliefs.

It's like saying grass isn't green or the sea isn't blue. If you're so hell bent on saying there's no Antifa, YOU prove it and stop derailing the thread and wasting everyone's time.

They might not have membership cards like the klan but if that doesnt meet any definition of an organisation then i dont know what does

Where is their HQ, who's their leader/spokesperson, how does one become a member.................. It's not so stop embarrassing yourself. I am not derailing anything, there were posts alleging antifa is an organisation and I'm pointing out it's not, that's informing a discussion, the whole point of a discussion board.
