Time to examine the oft-used but always vague phrase "systemic racism", if you asked 10 liberals for a definition of "systemic racism" you'd likely get 10 different or varying answers, compare the use of "systemic racism" now to defining the word "peace" during the Cold War, an acclaimed economist who is African-American points out that the political left uses the term "systemic racism" to pressure political opponents, why the political left gravitates to these issues/terms that are vague and nebulous, if the issue is vague the political left can use it as a wedge or a cudgel to push their opponents into submission, why the "defund" police supporters in Seattle can't coherently respond to the fact that a 50% cut will mean laying off officers of color and fundamentally hurt the people they claim to support, the political left and illegal immigration is about racial politics and not the rule of law, different rules for different races will always promulgate fierce division, advice: force people you know who utter the phrase "systemic racism" to define it for you.
