There definitely were racist laws against blacks in the US at one point but these rules were deemed unconstitutional and overturned. This is where the democrats were sneaky. The welfare system has to some degree decimated the black community and I think it was intentional, but there isn't anything racist in it per-se, it's just targeting "fried chicken".
This is a good point that, I think, a lot of people, especially black people, miss. What they may be perceiving as “systemic racism” is the end result of the exact policies that they themselves voted for and continue to vote for. In fact, it is the exact policies that they riot and loot for.
And this is exactly what some blacks (like Owens, Elder) now understand and refer to as the “Democratic Plantation.” Blacks, to the tune of 90%, vote for the policies that indirectly target their population, and cause more of the same.
