I mean, thats moving the goalposts first of all. Discrimination can have a large impact even when not perpetrated by the government.

But even still, that just isn't true. Governmental discrimination is still very much a thing. 

Every US citizen have the same rights. Politicians, police chiefs, mayors, governors etc come in all different races. Not sure what more you want at this point. 

What I want is for us to fix the systems which are home to racist practices and ideals (marijuana was made illegal on the back of racist ideals and fear mongering) such as the policing system and the criminal justice system, and for us to provide funding for poor communities in order to ensure that they are given equal opportunities in life. Even when we move forward from our racist practices in the past, the impacts still remain and until we address both the broken, racist systems, and the systems rife for abuse that still exist today, and the consequences of those racist systems and the systems that we have already taken steps to dismantling, we do not have true racial equality and justice and the work is not over.
