Not really. Police brutality is a great example of systemic issues rather than personal animus, actually. Here is a good article on it: https://www.vox.com/2015/5/7/8562077/police-racism-implicit-bias
Same with systems like red-lining. Most bankers would say they aren't racist. Yet there are still heavily segregated cities and parts of cities in the US. How do we explain that? Personal animus doesn't seem to. But systems of power do.
