Many political figures have made this statement.
Joe Biden is just the most recent to say it:
"Theres not a racist bone in my body. Ive been involved in civil rights my whole career, period, period, period.
I bet every public figure that has said "there's not a racist bone in my body believes it too. If you hooked them up to a lie detector they would probably pass as telling the truth.
And they would all be wrong.
Systemic Racism is real. It has not gone away. White politicians that say they don't have a racist bone in their body are wrong because systemic racism has so permeated our society that virtually no non-minority person can truly make that claim.
Especially these politicians. Systemic Racism is real and they are part of the system.
Many people are unaware of to what degree they have been affected by society's systemic racism.
Only the most extreme people openly declare their racism. Everyone else feels that they are not racists. Not racist at all? No, of course not, they are just unaware to what degree and how deeply they have been affected by systemic racism.
Reading the comments below bears this out.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
