Systemic racism is a real thing and it is very well documented in the US. From slavery, to Jim Crow to redlining. Its affects are generational and are largly responsible for the wealth inequality among races in the US. Ignoring it, or trying to rewrite history doesn't fix the problems of the past. It only makes them worse. I feel like I could sit here and give a unique expample of contemporary racism every day fo the next year and it would be largely ignored by a lot of people here. That is largely because people have been programmed to ignore it or act offended when it is pointed out. Among some, it is seen a racist to point out racism. What the people who are racist, especially amoung white people, have done is to hid behind the entire race and say: YOU CAN"T call me racist without calling all white people racist. Thats a scam. If a white person were to commit murder, all other white people don't get defensive and say Stop calling us murderers! That would be redicilous. By the same token, if someone calls a white person racist, that doesn't mean all white people need to jump up and say stop calling us racist. Thats stupid. For any race.
