I think the point is that you are defining systemic racism wrongly if it excludes the drug war.

I always thought systemic racism means the policies that lead up to this. I never interpreted it to mean that if we look at the data for a particular institution, we will discover evidence that individuals within that institution are conspiring against black people.

Like, the drug war and mass incarceration ARE the systemic racism...
