LOL. How come every black person didn't try to free themselves from slavery? How come every black person didn't become a civil rights activist? How come every black person didn't march on Washington, become a conductor on the underground railroad, or join the Black Panthers?

Your grasp on what it means for an issue to be systemic is ridiculous.
