Thanks for your reply. I think we have different premises.

I infer that you believe that I deny the existence of racism as posited in the definitions you cited. Not true. It remains an ugly reality. But contrast the success of people with African genes who came to the US from the Caribbean with the subset of individuals with the same physical appearance in the poverty stricken inner city areas. By what I understand to be your measure, both groups should fail to achieve economic success. Or perhaps you hold that all should receive the same benefits without regard for their efforts and talents. If so, I disagree.
Nor do I hold that those who are successful, whatever their genetic heritage, are suffering from CRT and the like. The true victims are the poor who are convinced by those ideologies that effort is pointless and that they are owed something for nothing.
