In reply to the discussion: To say America has problems with racists is not the same as saying America is a racist country [View all]Ohioboy
(3,240 posts)22. Yes, there are tons of racists in this country that need to be dealt with

Harris did not say there was not systematic racism so I guess you can listen to both of us. I dunno.

You need to remember that "the right" does not argue or discuss anything in good faith.

Not all Americans are racist, but I sadly have to conclude America is a racist country.

America is not an "anything" country. It's absurd to even try to characterize it.
