Not necessarily. If it can be proven that certain groups get more favorable sentences from the court system that would be an example of systemic racism that is subjective in nature but still has real life consequences. I don't know if that has been proven however.

If that's the case, then the whole discussion is a waste of time. There is no way to prove (or disprove) your statement.

Which furthers my belief that this is the whole point. To foster a controversy that can never be solved.

If it is proven then yes, I’d agree.

If it is subjective, amd to a judges discretion it is the opposite of systemic.
