Systemic racism affects every area of life in the US. From incarceration rates to predatory loans, and trying to solve these problems requires changes in major parts of our system. Here's a closer look at what systemic racism is, and how we can solve it.

Stop deleting comments. If you actually care about resolving this issue you'll let constructive discussions occur.
“His teachers are very well paid” Yeah that’s a lie for any school.
They really named the black kid "Jamal". LMFAOOOOO
Censoring criticism in your comment section? You just lost all credibility
I have an idea: don't keep reelecting the same people into office that clearly aren't improving anything.
Stop deleting comments. This channel has no credibility whatsoever.
They really named the black kid "Jamal" LMFAOOOOO Edit: some kid named "can't think of a name" copied my comment and his has a few more likes, look at the goddamn date people. 8 months ago vs. 7 months ago???
Man what a shame that you’re removing the comments pointing out the fallacies in your argument. It’s almost like the facts don’t fit your narrative🧐
I didn't realize all white people grew up in rich neighborhoods. I missed that memo
I spent the vast majority of my childhood in an underdeveloped Chinese village that did not even have a sewage system 15 years ago. My relatives told me "American companies will not give you any decent jobs because they are racist towards yellow-skinned people". I recently graduated with my master's and is now working in finance. I'm not saying I made it. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist in this country. I'm just saying if you are lucky enough to be a legal resident in the U.S, and you are healthy, the chances are good that you can crawl your way out of any shit hole.
Please please don’t remove the comments that disagree with this. I was trying to respond to one, now it’s gone. We need discussion. If people could remove, why couldn’t they respond instead?
Deleting comments is the micro version of what Stalin and Mao did.
Aren’t the terms “white sounding names” and “black sounding names” forms of implicit bias?
0:10 even the sky is racist, notice how the white neighbourhood has a brighter sky
The way this video explains “systemic racism” is the same way a 6 year old would explain coloring inside the line.
I think parents also play a big role in education.
Could someone explain why it called racism instead of poverty? Are not the same applicable to any poor district regardless of race?
I love how they barely explain how to fix anything then tell us we need to make it better
There’s an Asian immigrant kid in Jamal’s district that scored higher on the SAT than Kevin.
You cant keep deleting every comment that disagrees with the premise of this video. Just admit it missed the mark.
