I listened to Shelby Steele and Bob Woodson last night on this subject. Their argument is there is not systemic racism. If there was, we wouldn't have elected Barack Obama twice, we wouldn't have the number of African-American legislators that we have at all levels of government. We wouldn't have the number of black bureaucrats in all levels of government that currently exist. Their argument comes down the areas of the country that are under one party rule. One party has controlled the power and the money for decades and nothing has improved. It fact, it has gotten worse. Now, many people that live in those cities, those areas are decimated and the call to de-fund the police is rising. What do they hope to accomplish when anyone with open eyes can see that crime is going to get a lot worse in those areas where that one party rules, if they are successful at de-funding the police. If you don't know Shelby Steele then listen.
