Friendly reminder. We are living in 2019. There is no institutional racism. There hasn't been for a very long time. But, that doesn't mean that bigotry isn't rearing its ugly head... it is. Ideas are under attack. The thought police are watching you.

Institutional does not mean explicitly written. It means that it is embedded into the institution of this country. How many non white men has been president since the country was stolen and fought over? That, my friend, is the "institution" of which we speak... How long since

Don't get me wrong, things HAS gotten better since my parents day when they were subject to redlining, but, because of that there are a lot of people that were never afforded the chance to interact with others that would have gotten them into a better situation in life.
