😂 I honestly don't know what planet you live on. We live in society. There is racism in society. We have not destroyed society. Therefore you could argue that we're all "complicit" in the racism. The dealer who sells drugs in his neighbourhood is complicit. The rapper who makes millions rapping about black criminality is complicit. I am complicit. You are complicit.

But so is the black guy languishing in jail because he was caught in possession of marijuana that was for his own use. So was the black family working multiple jobs to pay for the unscrupulous contract on their home (look up "contract buying" if you don't know what I'm talking about). So is the black teenager being harassed by the police because they live in a poor neighbourhood.

Your framing is stupid, because it implicates the people most heinously impacted by the "racial hierarchy," and most powerless to stop it, simply because they aren't actively "dismantling it" as they're being crushed by it. This is the same bulls*t bourgeois mindset that asks, "why don't these people just work harder if they want a better life?"

I could repeat all of this nonsense at cocktail party. Not that I go to cocktail parties (although if I did, vapid, faux-academic takes like these would be much more likely to get me in nowadays). Nobody would think I was a “violent extremist.” They’d just think I was an idiot who hadn’t thought through what I was saying.
