“Just as you can recognize an impoverished country by its widespread poverty, you can recognize a racist country by its widespread racial inequity. In the United States, Black college graduates owe an average<\/a> of $25,000 more in student loans than white college graduates. Native Americans die from police violence<\/a> at three times the rate of white people; Black people die at 2.6 times the rate; and Latino people die at 1.3 times the rate. In the United States, racial inequity is widespread by any measure.”<\/p>\n

“To say that there is widespread racial inequity caused by widespread racism, which makes the United States racist, isn\u2019t an opinion, isn\u2019t a partisan position, isn\u2019t a doctrine, isn\u2019t a left-wing construct, isn\u2019t anti-white, and isn\u2019t anti-American. It is a fact. But in recent years, some have reduced a host of facts to beliefs”<\/p>\n
