Trump White House Rejects 'Systemic Racism' In Law Enforcement | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

    1. DIVISION is the very oxygen they breathe. Donny would not be in office, had he failed to divide America. “Make America Divided Again,” is their very credo, their method and their tactics. And the recent chaos is a direct result of that. America cannot take another term of this, which is why Russia AND China will back Donny. His weakness? The GOP Kryptonite? So simple it’s dangerous: a, “UNITED,” States of America ✌️👍

    1. Name an institution that has racism. Most career government workers support democrats. Universities are usually leftist communist sanctuaries. The Federation Teachers Union is leftist, I was a teacher I know what they preach. Hollywood is left and controlled by the left. The media is 90% left, socialist and/or communist. All of those institutions have racism?

    2. @ryvr madduck thats why its called systemic, its so engrained into virtually every facet of our lives that the average person barely notices.

    3. @ryvr madduck Abandon your ideas on partisanship and you’ll be headed in the right direction.

    1. Racism is in the heart of all people of all colors. You can tear America down and off all whites from the planet but racism will still exist

    2. @Paul Wilson We’ll folks talking about institutional racism I’m just pointing out many influential institutions have leftists in charge for decades. Any systemic racism would be their doing or their fault.

  1. That’s interesting, coming from a racist, who’s father was a Klan member. It’s funny how no Klan member has ever admitted to being racist. They don’t see it as racism.

    1. @Mileo Major who do you think you are lil girl. This is my comment, now if you need to use your mouth use it on tRump. I’m done with you demon. What’s your name?

  4. Nothing quite so amusing at listening to wealthy white men tell other people what racism is and isn’t and where it exists and doesn’t.

    You are and have always been in the driver’s seat. You don’t get to tell those standing outside the car what is & isn’t in your blind spot – especially when you aren’t even bothering to shoulder check. You just drive around thinking you’ve got it under control and don’t bother with the carnage you leave in your wake and the damage you’re causing.

    The gauge of whites regarding race relations has NEVER been accurate. At the height of Jim Crow, as you could literally walk past “Whites Only” signs, over 80% of whites felt there were no issues and that blacks had equal access to opportunities. What does this tell us? When it was BLATANT and written into law you STILL thought there was no problem. You really think now that it is less obvious but very much systemic that we are going to trust your gauge? You didn’t even see it when it was obvious because you didn’t want to see it. You still don’t want to see it for the same reasons. Hence, those who choose willful ignorance are not the ones who get to lecture on what they choose to ignore.

  5. I think that most of those people, including Trump, don’t know the meaning of “systemic” and think about “systematic”
