He probably never discusses how the inner cities were created and segregated by real estate redlining. He probably never once mentions the crack that was flooded into these inner cities by our government. To act as if you are going to educate me on systemic oppression is a joke when your opening argument is that there is none in America. That constitution everyone loves to protect was originally created by slave owners. We had to literally make a compromise to count black people as 3/5 of a person just to get more votes for their owners. There are people still living today that were not given the same equal right to vote as you because of the color of their skin.
To just act as if those deep rooted systemic issues are not still causing issues today is a completely obvious stance to take. It ruins any credibility to an actual discussion on the issue if you’re going to act like systemic oppression is completely inexistent in this country.
