You question makes clear you fail to understand the obvious, I never once denied racism, what I am disputing is the absurd claim that it is systemic, a simple look at the nation itself easily proved it doesn't exist.
Well if you’re looking to understand why discussions between blacks and whites about racism are often so difficult in this country
It's the fact that we are not talking about the same thing.
To white folks, racism is seen as name calling, purely personal.
For blacks, racism is systemic. It is the experience of systematized discrimination in housing, employment, schools or the justice system.
It is the knowledge that one’s entire group is under suspicion, at risk of being treated negatively because of stereotypes held by persons with the power to act on the basis of those beliefs.

There was a time it did exist into the early 1960's, but that has been swept away with laws and compliance to the long existing laws.
But the problem with this logic is that Gallup polls from the 1960s showed that most whites believed that racism didnt exist, that blk ppl had just as good of a chance of getting a job and that Martin Luther king was a trouble maker.
My point is white people have always doubted the claims of racism.
