WASHINGTON—Democratic leaders announced Wednesday that they have learned the words “systemic racism” and that they were very excited to have done so. “We have been informed of the phrase ‘systemic racism,’ and, beyond that, we plan to use it in several sentences,” said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in an impromptu press conference that also included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chair Tom Perez, who all echoed the fact that they have seen these two words next to each other on a sheet of paper given to them by aides, have read that sheet of paper, and will proceed to repeat those words both in conversation amongst themselves and with reporters. “We understand that it is a phrase, and we will include this phrase in sentences we speak. In fact, you might see us on television using this set of words very soon. All of this is to say that today, we have discovered two new words that we are supposed to use. That’s all.” At press time, the Democratic Party had announced a bold new initiative to combat systematic rhotacism in 2020.\n

Systemic racism doesn't exist! This is another example of the do nothing Democrats!

Ah, now the Kente cloth scarves make total sense. We’re fucked.

And now they’re going to move on to the words “work ethic “.

Why so many replies to satire

Doubt if they even know why it's called systemic and not systematic...

You overestimate her

Do they look forward to the opportunity to discuss forming a committee to explore the possible meaning of this term?

I prefer KIKE

Yeah and Chuck Shumer finally learned what the Occupy Wall Street supporters were so angry about.

SenSchumer made it as famous as realDonaldTrump made Juneteenth

Republican Leaders renounce this un-American concept. Deny Systemic Racism, Deny Covid 19, Deny Global Warming, Deny ever meeting Donald Trump.

The phrase 'Systemic Racism' morphed from the phrase 'institutional racism' which was first coined by Stokely Carmichael in his book Black Power. U can read his short (but concise!)explanation here: (3 minute read) SystemicRacism SystemicRacismExplained

But much like Republicans, they don't really intend to do anything of substance about it.

How different that from Systematic Racism?

Schumer's speeches are so heartfelt that he has to read them.

This might be the first legit news article the Onion has ever produced

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard these words...

'Oh so that's what we've been creating'

They practically invented it. It seems like the People living in their districts are the most often victimized by systemic racism. Minneapolis Atlanta Ferguson Chicago Detroit etc. Why are so many Democratic run places full of racists?

Must of been the topic of the day on Sesame Street.

Guess who's the trans...

Nice diverse panel there... A Jewish guy, an apparent TV or maybe a trans, what appears to be a redneck cracker, and people nearly no one can identify, other than that they are not Black, not Asian, not Hispanic... but they represent... uhhh... someone somewhere who donates cash.

The treatment for many systemic things is oral.

Mockingbird

blah, blah, blah ...

the_gneech Big oof

'We're going to eliminate systemic racism in counties that have more than 20% minority populations, where the median income is $50k a year or less, there's at least one Arby's, no famous movie directors were from there...and we'll end the racism within 100 years.'

This is the worst of the recent articles

'structural racism' feeling jilted.

This shows the hypocrisy of corporate and establishment democrats 😂🤦‍♂️

Give MicahHerskind credit for this headline

Shots fired

When will the Democrats pushback against police unions 🤔 never. Police Unions donate to Democrats, their members vote for Republicans. Wake up America

DylanTweetin Patty Murray always looks like that teacher who says if you don't have lunch money, you're not eating.

Trump declares war on Americans. Democrats:

Still don't know what it means though.

The comment section on Facebook is much funnier. Twitter is full of angry boobs... And bots that love the president.

So all the suffering inflicted on the people and all the citizens they murdered have not died in vain. We are still struggling.

Where the HELL are you DNC nice to know you learning words Americans dying from a pandemic, constiutional Freedoms being met with violence & death, from white supremacist Trump, thug police and BlackWater LESS TALKING MORE ACTION!

For once, a true Onion artical

Bernie lost get over it.

Toxxoglossa Aww, but I loved hearing Pelosi saying 'samstampic racism'... They grow up so fast.

Toxxoglossa Do you see how none of them are black so they don’t know how it is to be a black person they don’t know how it feels to be a black person they need to shut the fuck up

We live in a world where The Onion news stories are true.

....and that they need to be included in every speech regarding civil rights from now on....

This is kind of a miss. They throw around the phrase 'Systemic Racism' all the time, and constantly say that we must 'do something' about it. They just never bother to specify what 'do something' means.

Now learn the words 'economic disparity' 😂

'Systemic racism' advocates are about as credible as the flat-earthers.

Wouldn't that be nice

In other news, Democratic Mayors continue to enact curfews and sick their police on peaceful protests.

This would be funny if Hillary Clinton hadn’t made addressing “systemic racism” a major component of her platform four years ago.

Shots fucking fired

Republican leaders still working on racism.

Republicans: 'Police brutality is very good for our country.' Democrats: 'We dislike police brutality, but we're just going to tell people to vote (even though voting hasn't helped and police have only become increasingly militarized).' End result: police brutality stays

Please u are doing too great of a job reporting

Good. Hopefully they understand that they are part of the system too.

The people’s party

And forget about it after midterm

Systemic Racism. Individuals

I thought they invented the term.

Proving ... nothing.

GOP has yet to catch up. deafears

I can see this being a real story 100% tbh
