It's significant that we are electing African-Americans to the highest offices (219 years into the history of our country) in the land now but it certainly doesn't prove anything about the existence (or lack thereof) of systemic racism. I would ask if he were paying attention to the kind of attacks President Obama (and even Kamala Harris endured to a lesser extent) while in office, but then again, he was part of the party causing all of the problems and making those attacks.
