True to only some extent.

It is entirely possible and has existed where a group of people banded together to shun another group.

If you know a little about history, you will see that is the norm of the history - one group discriminates against another group for variety of reasons: ancestry, language, skin color, the amount of money you have, sexual orientation, different opinion, etc. etc.

Someone asks a question and that’s your answer?
Nice guy.
And your explanation is not exactly perfect and beautiful- or accurate.

If really wanted to understand, why don't you google it? I have posted studies after studies of the imbalance from first grade, housing, banking, credit, zip code red lining, college selections boards and the disparity of a black guy getting arrested from a white guy- for the same crime. If you want to listen to opinions read on--- everyone has one. Nobody will ever change racist minds, but my thought-there are bait threads just to spread more garbage.

Because they can't identify the specific points of racism in the "system", it then becomes "systemic racism". Meaning that the entire system is supposedly racist by nature and therefore one can't find anything specifically racist and fix it.

When they want to make an issue out of specific events, like Police brutality, it requires that the Police and Crime statistics be wholesale ignored and it becomes a massive propaganda operation.

The Press is mostly responsible for all of this, of course. Without its support and coaching of Blacks, through unending propaganda articles, Blacks feel enabled to adopt a false 2020 victim narrative and pretty much claim whatever they want to and without the burden of proof. Protecting that effort is the Press that seeks to effectively levy punishment on and marginalize any serious rebuttal to Black claims to victimhood in 2020.

In summary, "systemic racism" is largely a Press and "New York Intellectual" gambit to destroy the United States's social fabric to a nefarious end. Using Black self-interest as one vehicle. As one facet of that effort to destroy, it's working well.
Excellent post.

That explains a lot.
It appears the OP wasn't being sincere with his/her question.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Peer pressure. For decades either you vote with the collective or face excommunication. The Biden BS where he said if you didn't vote for him then you aren't black is exactly how the masters at the DNC plantation have prevented runaways for 50 years now.

When you look at studies on in-group bias, you'll see that there is no demographic with a stronger in-group bias than black people, that's why that type of peer pressure is so effective. Anyone who would go against the group in any way would have their "blackness" questioned or outright denied.

There’s no pressure at the voting booth. Nobody knows whom you vote for.

Sure, but by the time you get to the booth, you've had 18 years of brainwashing telling you that if you don't vote a certain way, you aren't black.....that you are a "race traitor". To the demographic with the strongest in-group bias in the country, that's a powerful tool to prevent runaways.
