Reply to comment by Moont1de in For most Americans, housing was a key component in personal wealth accumulation. However, racist housing policies eroded black wealth in pre-WWII American cities. Black families paid a 28% premium to buy a home on a majority white block, after which their homes lost 10% of their value. by smurfyjenkins

Are you suggesting Stokely Carmichael was confused about what people at the time usually meant by "racism", such that he unnecessarily invented the concept of "institutional racism" when that was what "racism" already meant?

He contrasts individual racism to institutional racism. At no point does he make a case for racism being different than institutional racism
