Institutionalized racism is very, very real.

Edit: I had a comment ask for evidence based examples but deleted the comment before I had the chance to answer,. So, here is come examples. Note, some of these examples are before 2000, but I find that they still apply.

Political Inequality

Employment Inequality

Effect on black health.

Effect on black education.

There are plenty more examples. Google Scholar and JSTOR are some great examples as to where to find some journals about it. JSTOR offers up to 6 free articles a month, I find it very useful for research at university.

Remember, being ignorant is a choice.

Edit 2: The wonderful u/theresamouseinmyhous shared this link about more history of institutional racism. There are 14 parts with the podcasts lasting roughly 45 minutes to an hour. Thanks for the suggestion!
