Can someone explain to me what "Systemic Racism means"? I ask this because it seems to me that it means more to 'Black Lives Matters', than it does to me.
Jim Crow laws are long gone. They were the fruit of Democrat controlled southerm political systems, just as with the dysfunctional cities they run now
The theoretical foundation for the current systemic racism is the thesis in a book by Isabel Wilkerson I’m reading now. It builds on her previous prize winning books and the 1619 project, namely that the United States was built with racism at its heart with a caste system based on skin color. Her book is called Caste.
I believe many educated and cultured blacks believe their own success was won fighting this system and the un developed black class is still held down by it. This is a human failing in that we tend to give credit for our success to our actions but failures to outside forces. But it means the black leaders and their supporters do not address the real issues we’ve known since the Moynihan report. They don’t want to blame the” victim “. Iy is an excuse for the lack of black development.
These people also view power as a zero sum game. They want more, which means whites get less.
Economic power is available to any individual and that’s what America and its founders created. Collective group power is a dangerous thing as we are seeing now.
This term is anti-white racist in and of itself.

It’s what describes those who make race a part of every argument and complaint and who accuse others of systemic racism...look to the Left and you see it in action every day.
Morons believe “systems” or “institutions” are racist because there just aren’t enough actual racists in America. So, for example, our election system is racist after electing Hussein to two terms.
“Systemic racism” is exemplified by government schools.
Year after year after year, children are condemned to languish in failed and hopeless public schools while taxpayers are forced to fund the corrupt system.
It’s a unicorn - it doesn’t exist. Period.
Try and articulate your thoughts to the people in Wisconsin after what happened today...I’d like to see you do this?
It means you are judged by the pale tone of your skin, rather than the content of your character.
The concept was invented when the race hustlers couldn’t find people to blame for their problems. So, they say it is the “system”.
Try thinking about Srebinica - I was there in the aftermath. Thus, I can answer your question.
