Here’s a challenge. Name one system of any type in the U.S. that is racist. If you can’t come up with an answer, then how can there be systemic racism? From Ed Brodow at americanthinker.com:
An isolated incidence of police brutality in Minneapolis gave the left an excuse to scream about systemic racism. The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police was a tragedy, but it cannot prove the existence of institutionalized racist activity.
The Floyd incident raises two critical questions: (1) Is America plagued with systemic racism that justifies the dismantling of our social and political institutions? (2) Do racist police and justice systems deliberately discriminate against black Americans?
Systemic racism no longer exists in the United States. Individual instances of racism are occurring and always will occur — against both blacks and whites — but to argue that racism is institutionalized ignores the changes that have occurred in the last 60 years. “America is now the least racist white-majority society in the world,” said black Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson.
“The false charge of systemic racism,” said author David Horowitz, “is a convenient cover for the Left’s inability to identify actual racists directly responsible for inequalities in American life. It is unable to do so because America’s culture is so egalitarian and anti-racist that the numbers of actual racists are so few, and their impact so inconsequential, that they don’t amount to a national problem.”
