I don’t know many people who seriously claim that every single atom of American life is racist.
America has no room for nuance, it’s either every police shooting is justified or every shooting isn’t justified. It’s probably not a great way to actually run a country but it makes for great media sales / entertaining politics.
It’s the internet that disposes of context and nuance.
