    Systemic or institutional racism is defined as having official policy in place to encourage racism. That was certainly the case in the 60s. Systemic being the key word I don’t think people understand.

    We have the opposite of that now in that we have all kinds of laws to l that can be used against those that are proven to be racist within their job. Key world is that it has to be proven and often that is not obvious to after an incident.

    But if you think we have a problem with systemic racism, tell me one policy or law that is encourages racism.

      you’re really not going to accept that systematic racism (gentrification, the War on Drugs, racial profiling, job discrimination, etc.) exists unless there’s like literally a law that says “you should be racist” in big colorful letters, are you?

      I’m honestly in disbelief that people like you, who think that racism was completely solved in the 60s when King did the famous speech, still exist
