These injustices still happen and you know it. Lisas anecdotes are neither wide-spread or systemic.
Citigroup did a study focusing on U.S. GDP from 2000 until 2020. The study revealed huge losses in GDP due to continuing discrimination against blacks in business revenue, education, housing credit, and income. The study determined that since the year 2000, continuing discriminatory practices in the four areas mentioned in the prior sentence resulted in a loss of 16 trillion dollars in GDP.
The breakdown is as follows:
“Closing the Black racial wage gap 20 years ago might have provided an additional $2.7 trillion in income available for consumption and investment.
Improving access to housing credit might have added an additional 770,000 Black homeowners over the last 20 years, with combined sales and expenditures adding another $218 billion to GDP over that time.
Facilitating increased access to higher education (college, graduate, and vocational schools) for Black students might have bolstered lifetime incomes that in aggregate sums to $90 to $113 billion.
Providing fair and equitable lending to Black entrepreneurs might have resulted in the creation of an additional $13 trillion in business revenue over the last 20 years. This could have been used for investments in labor, technology, capital equipment, and structures and 6.1 million jobs might have been created per year.”

This didn't happen 75 or 400 years ago, but the attitudes that existed 75-400 exist now.
Like these from your buddies here.
“This is pipe dream shit meant to feed the n-I-g-g-e-r-s and the s-p-I-c-s because they’re stupid enough to believe that shit.”
“Today blacks act like animals because they are BARELY evolved past the Ape and need a strong central figure (the white man) to keep them in place and acting like normal people.”
“Sick of their shit and we should not hide it anymore. When they call me a fucking racist, and I say you damn right I am!!! Fuck those fucking people!
“Being the elected representative of a bunch of dumbass ghetto Jungle Monkeys doesn’t take intelligence. It take a ghetto dialect and a promise to get them more welfare.”
“Valerie Jarrett.... Is she that light skinned negro who looks like that ape in Planet of the Apes (negroes?)I thought she was an ape...Next you’ll be telling me Mooch isn’t really a shaved wookie.”
“Monkeys are more civilized than many blacks -Quit insulting monkeys.”
“You’re talking about balkanization. I’m all for it. I’m also for restoring the 1790 Naturalization Act, the very first legislation by the first Congress making only White people U.S. Citizens.
They didn't say these things 75 yeears ago.
When people declare that systemic racism does not exist, they don’t recognize the existence of individuals such as the ones in the prior quotes. Millions of these individuals are employed within the institutions that move our society. These people teach. People with this belief hire, terminate, determine salaries, raises, and promotions. They work as lenders in banks. They are police officers. They rent property, sell houses, insurance, and investments. They provide medical care. They make city, state, and federal policy. They are judges and attorneys in the legal system.
The white racist looks for one or two examples to deny the problem because they benefit from being part of it. There is no equivalence between what Lisa posted and the 404 years of continuing white racism that has been embedded in white culture since America was a colony. And until whites like you and Lisa can gather the intelligence to understand that whites today are not poor innocent victims of racism they no longer practice, don't come whining to me with anecdotes.
