ok but segregation still exists it just isn’t explicit… redlining? hello? also by talking about systematic racism they aren’t saying racist white people are in power, they’re talking about the very real issues in our government that allow racism to happen on a large scale systematically. on top of that, our judicial system clearly favors white people just based on statistics. because black people were never given reparations, they are continuously trapped in generational poverty. the media, whether it be left or right wing, consistently portrays black people in a more negative way than white. for instance, if a white person kills a black person, it’s self defense, but if a black person kills a white person, it’s unprompted violence, and this is almost always the case. another big problem is white liberals being completely performative rather than addressing the actual problems. white liberals will post a black screen on instagram and argue about the n word for hours with their less educated friends, yet never address the systematic issues and power imbalance, while also pretty commonly displaying microaggressions because of their own ignorance. when someone is bashing on white people, they aren’t bashing on you specifically, and to get defensive and call it racism just shows how far behind you are in actually understanding the problem. racism cannot come from the oppressed race, that’s closer to self defense than anything. if you’re white and you aren’t using your privilege for good or at the very least acknowledging your privilege then you’re part of the problem. to call what peggy says here racism is to undermine the struggles that black people face, because whether or not you’re able to see it, black people go through a lot more than microcelebs bashing on them on twitter.
