In order to solve a problem one needs to understand the mechanism that is causing it. Systemic racism is a label, but not the underlying force that is creating the problem.

I’m a healthcare architect, so I am studying the problem from the point of the built environment. My thesis is that African Americans have been segregated into ‘ghettos’ with less grocery stores, less hospitals, less public services, less good parks, etc…. It is this segregation that has caused worse healthcare outcomes for African Americans. So my thesis is the problem is segregation of AA into ghettos. The solution would be to stop this segregation.

The point being that we must dig deeper to understand the problem, and not just use vague terms like ‘systemic racism’. These don’t advance the issue.
