What I was shooting for is that that if everything is racist then the system is racist and we have to work on that.

It is true that it can be discouraging as you say, but the problem I encounter more is that White folks won't admit there's even such a thing as systemic racism. I'm trying to get them (us, since I am one) to accept that there even is first.

Point taken, and your last sentence was a funny surprise.
