If America is as Systemically Racist as the Left Claims, Why are Millions of Minorities Crossing Our Border?
“millions of people of color are enduring almost unimaginable hardships every day in the effort to reach and then gain entry to this hellhole”
This is one of those things that doesn’t add up and never gets addressed.

Millions Of People Of Color Endure Grueling Thousand Mile Trek In Effort To Enter Systemically Racist White Supremacist Hellhole
The United States: As you know, it is a systemically racist, white supremacist hellhole. It is filled with structures and barriers intended to oppress people of color and make them suffer. Or at least, you know those things if you read the usual sources from left-wing institutions and journalists. I’ll give you several examples in a moment.
But then, how to explain the undeniable fact that millions of people of color are enduring almost unimaginable hardships every day in the effort to reach and then gain entry to this hellhole. The most recent example is on the front page of today’s New York Times. The headline is “Blinken Seeks Mexico’s Help To Slow Surge”; but the accompanying photo — occupying most of the front page above the fold — is particularly revealing. A caravan of thousands of people is shown surging forward toward the U.S. border, with nearly every single visible face having a noticeably dark complexion. The photo in the online version of the article is not the identical one found in the print edition (although the photographer given credit, Juan Manuel Blanco, is the same), but the visual impression of a sea of dark faces is the same…
Hasn’t anyone informed these people that in the U.S. people of color are systemically and structurally oppressed and exploited? Surely they must have access to information from top international institutions and journalism outlets as to the true conditions. Here are a few examples that you would think they would be hard pressed to miss:
From the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, September 28, 2023: “Systemic racism pervades US police and justice systems, UN Mechanism on Racial Justice in Law Enforcement says in new report urging reform. Systemic racism against people of African descent pervades America’s police forces and criminal justice system, and US authorities must urgently step up efforts to reform them. . . . “In all the cities we went to, we heard dozens of heart-breaking testimonies on how victims do not get justice or redress. This is not new, and it’s unacceptable,” said Tracie Keesee, an expert member of the Mechanism. . . .”
From PBS, April 12, 2022, covering a then-just-released Report from the National Urban League on alleged systemic racism: The National Urban League released its annual report on the State of Black America on Tuesday, and its findings are grim. . . . “[T]his institutional disparity based on race seems to be built into American society,” National Urban League President Marc Morial said in an interview.
From the New England Journal of Medicine, February 25, 2021: How Structural Racism Works — Racist Policies as a Root Cause of U.S. Racial Health Inequities. . . . [There is a] growing recognition that racism has a structural basis and is embedded in long-standing social policy. This framing is captured by the term “structural racism.” . . . [R]acism is not simply the result of private prejudices held by individuals, but is also produced and reproduced by laws, rules, and practices, sanctioned and even implemented by various levels of government, and embedded in the economic system as well as in cultural and societal norms.

This is easily explained.
Once you have been trained to swallow gaslighting such as “carbon dioxide is a pollutant,” “a treatment that neither prevents infection nor inhibits transmission is a safe and effective vaccine,” and “Bidenomics is improving your life,” your brain divides the world by zero and anything is possible.

Not really a great question, because consider South Africa. The old RSA was systematically racist; it made no bones about that. And yet people from all over Africa were eager to get in.
I remember reading an opinion column in the mid-1970s, at the height of the international anti-apartheid campaign, pointing out that unlike communist countries where the border guards were facing in, to stop people trying to escape, South Africa’s border guards were facing out to try to stop people trying to sneak in. Which meant that for all its faults, which nobody disputed, it was still a far better place for black people than almost anywhere else in Africa. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t systematically racist, because it obviously was.

Woke progressive lefties keep on gaslighting.
