And I know how you will respond to me; by demanding proof of the ways racism effects the lives of people in the real world. Of course we could go back and forth with statistics about police brutality, incarceration and the economy, but what's the point? In the end you want to boil this down to numbers, numbers and more numbers, because you think that can somehow disprove the existence and effect of racism in America. All the while you ignore, or totally discredit, the most important thing: THE TESTIMONIES OF MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OF COLOR IN AMERICA WHO SAY THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR LOVED ONES HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY EFFECTED BY RACISM. But sure, they've all just been brainwashed by liberals. And you conservatives dare to call liberals elitist [BLEEP] who ignore the voices of real Americans.
