JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW

In a previous post, I wrote, “there’s never been such a thing as “systemic racism” in America … “ I wrote this assuming that the context in which I was writing would be understood. This was an unwarranted assumption. So, to prevent my being misunderstood and/or misrepresented I've edited my previous post to make it clear that I do believe racism in general has always existed in America. Racism expressed by one race towards another has always existed to some degree everywhere on earth throughout history, America not excepted. But, I do not believe and totally reject the false and vicious claim that racism has been and is “systemic” in America because white people specifically have always been, are, and always will be racist, simply by virtue of their being white. This is the false and vicious narrative being pushed today, which is in itself, racist to the extreme and a narrative that deserves to be universally condemned and rejected.
