The United States of America is a racist country....true or false ? 🇺🇸

After last nights election, and the recent results in Georgia, and in Florida. It is obvious that the mental stronghold on certain segments of White America still have an impact that results in an unnecessary fear based on propaganda and division. It ain't that damn bad, ok. It could be worse. Do you agree, that the US is still to some degree a racist country.

I'm reading the book White Fragility at the moment. Recommended by an Afro-Caribbean friend of mine.

This was after I got into a very public spat with two white friends who wouldn't accept they are privileged just through being white.

The author's unpicking of the reasons for white defence of the status quo is very clever and has great merit.

Racism is a process it isn't an event.
