If you're truly concerned about "systemic racism," your goal should be purging ALL racially discriminatory policies and prejudice from The System, not merely changing which races get discriminated against.
That's not only necessary for the obvious reason that if the targets change once, they can change again. It's because ideas like racial prejudice are cancerous. Tolerate them and they will metastasize quickly through any system, because they are a source of easy power and money.
It's no coincidence that undercover videos of "racial awareness seminars" and "anti-white supremacy training" reveal absurdly stupid grift operations that would be laughed out of the classroom by third-grade children, as would the "scholarship" of the movement's Deep Thinkers.
Racism is easy money. The grifters are sloppy and ridiculous because they don't have to be sharp. Forcing people to treat idiots as if they're incisive thinkers, and lazy grifters as if they're paragons of morality, makes EVERYONE more stupid and corrupt.
TV networks are pumping out a tidal wave of shows that dramatize how stupid and vicious the racists of the 50s and 60s were. They don't realize that their caricatures are also easily recognizable in the "anti-racism industry" hucksters of today.
Try watching any of these Yesteryear Was Awful and Racist shows with today's racial conflicts in mind, and you can't get around it - just switch the skin colors, tweak the dialogue a bit, and you've got the same spiteful viciousness and lunkheaded idiocy of today.
Racism is lazy and stupid, no matter who the racist is, or how they justify their policies. It's an invitation to blame someone else for your problems while feeling *inherently* superior - two of the most addictive conceptual drugs the human race has ever invented.
Maintaining a huge system of racial prejudice with enforcement powers and billions of dollars in funding is an invitation to manufacture and weaponize idiocy for generations to come. As you may have noticed, weaponized idiocy has a hair trigger for erupting into street violence.
The political class will NEVER be able to resist the temptation to tap into racial prejudice for easy money and power. Hucksters will NEVER resist the temptation to prey on people who have been forced to accept stupid ideas. We must take the temptation away.
We're spending tons of money, and spilling gallons of blood, to obscure the self-evident truth that all men are created equal. Today's elites castigate the Founders for failing to live up to their ideals, while gleefully perverting those ideals for personal gain.
As long as we have a system built around the idea that some people must be punished because of their skin color, that some races are inherently more virtuous than others, we will have war. The only real peace is unconditional. We should insist on nothing less. /end
