    What word would you use for the systemic oppression of racial minorities in America?

    Do you feel white people experience systemic oppression? In what way?

    Which racial group has historically been in control of the large structures in our society (government, large and wealthy corporations)?

    If you’re wondering why I’m asking these questions, it’s because I think you’ve missed the point that the poster you’re responding to is making. You seem to be arguing about which words to use instead of noticing the wider topic.

      That’s easy: systemic racism. It easily avoids any dumb debates about what is meant by “racism” in a particular context.
