We worked a lot with these definitions last year during our creative writing and journalism class, so I was fairly familiar with the definitions. Systemic racism is evident in our schools when comparing my own children's school. The taxes are much lower in the SCSD in comparison to the school district I live in, therefore, SCSD has much less to offer its students than the district my own children attend- which is predominantly white, suburban school district. A lot of the racism I've experienced has been on a personal/interpersonal level where one persons racism is impacting another. However, I've done a lot of work around our justice system which is a clearly systemic issue that goes back hundreds of years.
