There is wide spread governing, policy planning, legislating, and rulings that have and still are influenced by racial biases. Those statistics I pointed out about black people are a direct result of how the government has govern.
Whether you like it or not, systemic racism exists everywhere especially the United States, so long as people are governing other people while holding biases like all humans do, there will be systemic racism. Saying there isn't, does not change a single thing. All it does is show you have no idea or grasp of what you're talking about as I've pointed out. There are causation and effects that I have pointed out. Your problem is you want to tie it directly to a singular person hating black people or throwing out racial slurs. So long as black people are disproportionately criminalized, killed, etc... there is systemic racism.
The person who came up with the term systemic racism or rather institutional racism as it used to be called provided this definition
So yet again, you are wrong and have no idea what you're talking about. You reject what I've said in the face of evidence, facts, reasoning. This is yet again, the backfire effect. In the face of these things, your prior beliefs have been reinforced because it's uncomfrontable for you to concede there is systemic racism. Glad I'm triggering you into behaving like a normal unaware human would. Recognize your psychology and fix it, because what you're doing now when collectively added up to a large scale is destroying not just this country, but has destroyed virtually every government, and enlightened era of advancements in technology or civilization.
