Read Thomas Sowell's book: Black Rednecks and White Liberals

"The notion that the ghetto black was the authentic black not only spread among both
white and black intellectuals, it had social repercussions far beyond the intellectual community.

Rooting black identity in a counterproductive culture not only reduced incentives to move
beyond that culture, it cut off those within that culture from other blacks who had advanced
beyond it, who might otherwise have been sources of examples, knowledge, and experience
that could have been useful to those less fortunate. But more successful blacks were
increasingly depicted as either irrelevant non-members of the black community or even as
traitors to it.

In turn, this meant that many blacks who had a wider cultural exposure and
greater socioeconomic success felt a need to conform, to some degree or another, to a more
narrow ghetto view of the world, perhaps using ghetto language, in order to prove their
“identity” with their own race. "

Just keep pretending you are being oppressed by the system. Assume everyone who disagrees with you is a white cis middle class male who pays his taxes and you're in the clear. Surprisingly enough the country works; you've just seen all these great movies and hear about the few instances where something goes wrong that make national news because of their rarity and you want to rebel against something. What do you think is going to happen when you've pissed enough people off? When a majority of the public hates your movement?

As for your "systemic racism" here's a Dr. Thomas Sowell book that may interest you. There is also a free audio copy on YouTube the last few essays deal with the lingering effects of slavery, of education in minority communities, and the civil rights movement. (don't worry Dr. Sowell is black).

You don't like the government, or even the concept of government do you then? But you want the government to change for you and your small group, well at least your belief in the death of democracy is consistent.

You're trying to light a fire and blame the fire department when the house burns down, you are living in the republic Gracchis, and you want to provoke a Caesar.
