Give me ONE, just ONE, example of ‘systemic racism’ in America, today. Go ahead...I’ll wait...

Try being a white male kid looking for ways to pay for college.

What do I win?

I have concluded that women should not participate in sports. I did not hold this view in the past.

That's gonna absolutely kill the world of beach volleyball.
