I do not think the US as a whole is racist and certainly not enough where they have to make it up similar to Jussie and LeBron.
Interesting opinion, though not really an answer to the question I asked.
Do you think someone can be a millionaire and experience racism? There's no right answer here, I'm just asking for your opinion.

Sure they can experience a racist person but a system, no. They can also experience hate just from being rich and not necessarily from their race.

Saying because there are black millionaire athletes that the US is not racist isn't really looking at the whole picture.
Why is white net worth 10 larger than that of blacks? Could it be that historically, the US did have systematic racism that presented itself in policies such as redlining, Jim Crow, etc. that played a part in pushing blacks into the high poverty areas you still see today? That while individual and collective attitudes about racism and segregation have improved dramatically over the past 50 years, the legacy of those racist policies have yet to be addressed adequately. Doesn't mean there aren't other influences/factors, but while the policy currently may not be 'racist' - how do we address poverty levels and net worth disparities that were created historically by a racist system?
