Black Buffalo Radio - Systematic Racism and Gentrification in our community

Systematic racism doesn't exist in America any longer, . . . legally. or so I am told.....

Cases where a person or a party have been discriminated against based upon their race/ethnicities can be challenged by the courts.

This is something that you couldn't do ~60 years ago.What some think is systemic racism is actually individual-based racism.

For example, if I (a black man) go to a car dealership and I am refused a loan on the basis of my skin color and not credit history or income, and then go down the street and to another dealership and I'm approved.

Is that systemic racism or is it individual(s) such as the employee and manager who refused to give me a loan based upon their own prejudices?

If I apply to a college and am denied admission, is that due to a policy that could easily be challenged and won in the courts, or due to a Dean and their secretaries/faculty prejudices?

Systemic Racism is when the Government bases it's policies and legal sanctions on the premises of racial stereotypes or when the Government discriminates public privileges and opportunities by race or color.

Some examples of systemic racism in the US today would be Affirmative Action policies, racial job quotas, racial test standards, or Minority/Women Owned Business Contract privileges
