Racism is not systemic. It is how one is raised, taught early on and who then decides to enact upon it without having the proper guidance. To claim that it is systemic, means we all partake in it. So I assume that those who are calling out this systemic racism are also racist.
'Systemic racism' is the excuse for 'free stuff'! Men dying on the Union side during the Civil War were 'systemic racists'? Blacks cry for blacks killed by police, but never mention the large number killed by other blacks! Why not?
Who is giving privileges. Same race to same people. Keep on systemic fighting against people of no color. We all pay equal monetary payments towards running of the country. We all support the state. If segeregation do not stop then destruction of the state
FYI did you even know that the District of Columbia celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation on the 16th of April one day after tax day
There is no systemic racism in our country, peddle your BS somewhere else....the majority is not buying it...
So glad to see oppressed celebrities like Nick Cannon out there leading the charge! You know, he's had a pretty rough go of things as a black man in American society.
The only legit systematic institutional racism is against whites.
