Racism or not

It was heartening to hear President Biden say the country is not racist. “No, I don’t think the American people are racist,” Biden told “TODAY.” Previously he said, White America has to admit there's still a systematic racism. Systemic racism is a stain on our nation's soul. Does that mean that the country is racist but the people are not. Are people judged as racist based on what they say. There are few statements more racist than Biden's description of former President Obama when he said, " I mean, you got the first mainstream African- American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." Does that mean that ordinary Black men are not articulate, not bright and not clean. Biden talking about himself said, anyone struggling to decide whether to support him or President Donald Trump in the general election "ain't black." Does that mean that all Blacks are the same. Many Blacks feel they are individuals and cannot be lumped together.
