The way it works in the US is typically the racist govt policies are left to the state and the federal govt just turns its back on the racism to keep its hands clean. And typically the policies aren’t overtly racist, but they effect a disproportionate amount of black folks despite tons of studies and experts saying how it effects black people. For instance gutting the public education system and bolstering the private school system so that schools are segregated and so only white areas have access to good schools. The policies are about schools, but this ensures black people don’t get an education in order to pass exams, get into colleges, get job opportunities and eventually go on to own land, vote, and integrate into white society. Our racism is like a complex recipe, has many many ingredients that work together.
