I'm old enough (septuagenarian) to have personal memory of "Whites Only", "Colored in back" and interracial marriage being illegal. I've seen tremendous change in my lifetime. Those who deny it are disingenuous or willfully ignorant.
America is a 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙨 and there is nothing that I can do by law that a black person cannot, so I sometimes quibble about "systemic racism." The system has been corrected, but at the same time some level of racial bias persists to a degree that it could be considered to be ubiquitous. People do find ways to get around the system and exercise discriminatory practices. 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒏𝒐𝒘.
When all is said and done, white people would overwhelmingly choose to stay white if a magic genie in a bottle offered them the opportunity to be black. I call bullshit on anyone denying that.
