Wow, you really showed us with... uh... a video. Posted by some anonymous rando on the Youtubes. PROOF!It's all identity politics...
Let's just ignore how:
• Police arrest blacks at higher rates for the same crimes as whites
• Prosecutors demand stiffer penalties for the same crime for blacks than for whites
• Police and prosecutors are less likely to prosecute whites when they just so happen to kill blacks
• Blacks are incarcerated at significantly higher rates than whites
• Blacks chronically have higher unemployment rates
• Blacks are underrepresented in higher-wage jobs, especially C-Suite
• Blacks are consistently under-represented in government, especially elected positions
• Blacks earn lower wages for the same types of jobs
• The percentage of blacks in poverty is over twice that of whites
• Household wealth for blacks has been stagnant for over 20 years, while that of whites has soared
26 charts that show how systemic racism is in the US - Business Insider
This is just a portion of the statistical evidence for systemic racism -- unless, of course, you're going to say that somehow blacks are actually inferior to whites. That certainly isn't true on a genetic level, and of course anything cultural will be... wait for it... largely a function of discrimination, prejudice and racism.
Oh, wait, I've got it. The United States magically overcame centuries of slavery, segregation, discrimination and prejudice overnight -- when did that happen again? -- and now there are no real racial problems whatsoever. Plus, denying the existence of structural racism is in any way racist, right? Riiiight.
