No. He’s arguing the us does not have SYSTEMATIC racism. That the way to move forward is to go after the opportunity at hand.

Instead we have a generation of folks who claim the system is against them and fail to move forward. Who give up.

No. He is arguing that we have achieved racial harmony. Read it again:
