Finally. A semblance of truth about the real history of systemic, structural and institutional racism in America. Racism, sexism, and hierarchy was woven into the fabric of this country from the beginning. Just look at the words of our founding documents beginning with the Declaration of Independence which begins with the words "we hold these truths to be self evident that all MEN are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights..." Even that was not true. In most states only white men who owned property could vote. The estimates are that less than 25% of the population qualified. Native Americans had it right...."pale faces speak with forked tongues." And it continues today.
