Racism

The dictionary definition of systemic refers to it as medical term meaning infecting the entire body. President Biden says systemic racism is a stain on nation's soul. Biden said he had a mandate “to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country.” Does this mean that everyone is racist or just some are racist and if it is only some who are they and how do you know they are racist. Does making a general statement like that divide or unite the country. Recall that most people feel that what the president says is important and should be taken seriously. Does the average white person now feel that the president thinks he is racist. Is the president racist. How many people do you know who are racist and why do you believe that. Are you racist and if so how do you know. The same question if you are not racist. Does the President have an ulterior motive for making such a questionable statement or what legitimate reason might he have. Calling someone a racist ranks right up there with child molester or smut purveyor. Isn't it necessary to have some evidence before making such a claim or in today's world is it OK to make the claim without evidence. The effectiveness of cancel culture is based on the fact that once a claim is made the evidence becomes unimportant. Does this make people uncomfortable and if not why not. Remember innocent until proven guilty.
