People have their own ideas of what the term "systemic racism" even means. Let someone explain their views/understanding. Resist the need to label them ("you are ignorant, racist, etc"). That will derail the entire conversation. The individual can't absorb information while trying to defend him/herself. You need to know what they know. Mirror back what they said, so both parties can confirm that you understood their viewpoint correctly. Once they confirm it, you can actually *start* the conversation.
This is the big thing sorely lacking here in the US right now.

This has only been stopping in the past yr, with the advent of the TPP, & the realization that obummercrap is just that, & a ponzi scheme to benefit insurance companies
