The chief of police at Memphis is a black woman. Is she part of the racist system as well?

Another person raising their hand to show they just don't understand systemic racism, and, seemingly, proudly don't want to make any attempt to understand.

When people say the American policing system is racist they are speaking about law enforcement as a whole, our entire system. One Black women in a position of power, even if she is stridently anti-racist, isn't going to address that.

No need to assume with what's in your comment.

It's the same as saying "America can't be racist, Obama was president"

Also, the fact you honed in on the first part of my comment, and not the exploration of systemic racism really shows you have no interest in learning.

G'day M'lady
