Does systemic racism exist in the US?

You misunderstand. My statement is both Trump and Biden made policy decisions that caused this easily avoidable mayhem. To blame one and not the other is something you find in people who speak in narratives they are regurgitating.

The point is not to "blame one and not the other"; it's to rebuke the unsubstantiated allegation that the border crisis is a product of systemic racism (which was the original, apparently abandoned, contention).

So you do think Trump’s policies are a significant factor in the current border crisis?

It's funny how easy it is to disregard racism when you're not on the receiving end of it.

Funnier in a sad way how easy it is to radicalize (usually men and usually young) people into believing the relatively benign side effects of the efforts of others to address obvious racial disparities as a racist attack of significance on themselves.

Well, I am the last person on the planet to support those who play the race card but there has been certain degrees of systemic racism ever since the late 1960s and victory of the civil rights movement.
Not to mention what was happening before that.

[Gromovnik]

So, systematic racism began with the civil rights movement?

How do you know people who disregard it were never on the receiving end of it?

That is quite a supposition in order to invalidate an argument that is what it seems to me.
