I generally believe that when people want to discuss a topic, then all participants should be clear and in agreement on how the subject of the discussion is defined.
Then let's do some defining...."Systemic racism"....Two words....Let's ask two easy questions...
First of all, is racism a choice made by people?
.
You cannot ignore the definition or implications of one word, to arrive at the definition and implications of the two words combined.
Racism is based off a choice the individual makes ... That is correct, because it is what the person believes.
Systemic Racism is the product of how the people that choose to be Racists, enforce their choice on others.
Authority or Power doesn't exist in a vacuum, and it's value is determined by how it is used to influence the actions or conditions of others.
