"The quiet part of 'our systems are not racist' is 'those people deserved to die.'

"Either policing is a racist institution or people of color disproportionately deserve to be killed.

"Either our infrastructure/waste disposal systems are racist or there's just something about Black/brown communities that elevate asthma and cancer rates.

"Either our medical system is racist or there's just something Black women and babies are doing to die at 3x the rate of white women and babies.

"Folks like Lindsey Graham will not admit America's systems are racist because that would require them to dismantle the lie that white people are better off because there 's just something inside them that makes them intrinsically better."
