An example of institutionalized structural racism:
1. Laws exist in all 50 states making militia groups illegal. Yet they only people who are regularly policed, interrogated and harassed are groups like the Black Panther Party.

2. Racist white militia groups march with and and uniforms claiming to provide "security" and to "assist" police. Yet because those groups are illegal, how is anything that they do legal, let alone acceptable or tolerated?
3. Racist white militia groups come into black communities with guns for "enforcement" during peaceful protests. Yet the violence that occurs is almost uniformly instigated by militia members. Whereas, unarmed blacks are called rioters and dissidents for disrupting people meals.
There are countless examples where these same kinds of dynamics exist and persist. People get tired of hearing about and dealing with racism. That's because it's has been designed and implemented over centuries to be exhausting. That way, it's primacy remains unchallenged.
