"Racism usually means that I believe that because of your race you're a lesser human being than me. I think there are people in the United States who feel that way but I don't think it is as common as people suggest and I think we have safeguards to ensure that it doesn't really have an effect on someone's future. I think we've made a lot of progress in the past 60 years. To listen to the American Left nowadays, you'd think we have gotten nowhere." -AG William Barr

[PJMedia.com] On Wednesday, Attorney General William Barr directly contradicted the idea that there is "systemic racism" among police departments and in America's justice system. He admitted that some police may be racist but insisted that America's systems have been reformed in order to combat racism. While the attorney general said some further reform is still necessary, he firmly rejected the notion of "systemic racism." (Image credit: Matt McClain-Washington Post via AP, Pool /via PJ Media)

CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Barr whether there are "two justice systems" for white and black Americans.

"No, I don't think there are two justice systems," the attorney general said. "I think the narrative that the police are on some epidemic of shooting unarmed black men is simply a false narrative, and also the narrative that that's based on race."

"The fact of the matter is, it's very rare for an unarmed African American to be shot by a white police officer. There were ten cases last year, six of them the suspect was attacking the police officer physically. So they are rare things compared to the 7,000-8,000 young black men who are killed every year," Barr explained.
