'Simply wrong': Barr rejects idea that US is systemically racist

Attorney General William Barr pushed back on the idea that the institutions of the United States are systemically racist.
During a Wednesday interview with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, Barr refuted arguments that the justice system is inherently racist, saying reforms implemented over the span of 60 years have constructed a bias of nondiscrimination.
"Doesn't that sound like systemic racism?" Blitzer asked, characterizing a statement from the attorney general that said black Americans might face increased suspicion from law enforcement.
"No. To me, the word systemic means that it’s built into the institution. And I don’t think that’s true. I think our institutions have been reformed in the past 60 years, and if anything has been built-in, it’s a bias to nondiscrimination and safeguards against that," Barr said. "And also, I think we have to be a little careful about throwing the idea of racism around. Racism usually means, you know, that I believe that because of your race, you’re a lesser human being than me. And I think there are people in the United States that feel that way. But I don’t think it is as common as people suggest."
