By using the picture of that asshole you're really not helping your case. I know you mentioned that story about those schools before, but they're not that widespread as far as I've seen. Whatever their idea of critical race theory is the complete opposite and wrong. It's not that these institutions are irredeemable racist, but is that they still exist. Institutionalized racism still exist, end of story. It doesn't mean everybody's irredeemable or anybody that's white is automatically a sinner. That's stupid logic. Though there is a big totem pole effect.
Well here is the thing that I don't really like about the term "systematic racism". And it boils down to the idea that if you want to look at things from a racist angle then you can find racism in everything (or damn near everything).
For example, the systemic college process of having lower tester score requirements for admittance from Black students. This was to help black students who often didn't come from great school districts or perhaps didn't bother to pay attention, still get into college. Now is this racist? Sure if you look at it under the assumption that Black people are I guess supposed to be dumber than everyone else therefore they can't possibly match the test scores of other people therefore you lower it just for them and essentially hold them to a lower standard because they can't meet the normal ones, thus labeling them as inferior. You could look at it that way. The other side of that is the higher test score requirement for Asian students, because they are often much higher in academic scores that the normal would be too easy for them so the requirement is raised so that the whole college isn't just Asian kids.
On one side of this "Systemic racism" there is a clear benefit. Black students that apply themselves have a much easier entry point in theory. While the Asian students suffer the flip side of having a much harder to reach standard to basically get the same thing.
But that's really the only example of a "System" that is obviously racist in theory.
The real question is what actual real systems in the U.S. or even the West are built strictly around a racist purpose? See people like to beat this into everyone's head these days. It's all a racist system, and that's why people are struggling, it's not anyone's fault, all our problems are the strict result of the government and society as a whole keeping us down.
There is never any fault on the individual or the group, it's always the higher power. Blacks killing Blacks in Chicago.....must be the government's fault, never mind the fact that the mayor Lori Lightfoot is a black woman. Not only a minority in power but also a female on top of it, and she has the name of a Hobbit. With the violence in Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles being heavily minority driven how can anyone in their right mind wonder why the police are extra weary around minority folks? The people have built their own reputation, no system made them do that. No system told them to not get jobs, to destroy their neighborhoods, to rob their own neighbors, no system told them to do that! But when the system tries to step in and put a stop to it, then it's racism?
It's like people simultaneously want to end racism yet also want it to be worse than ever so that they can keep feeding off of it. Because without racism they wouldn't have any more excuse for their problems.
Until these groups actively try to change themselves, and the culture around them in their communities, then nothing will change. Ain't no system stopping them from doing that. Only themselves.
