Maybe direct that question to someone who's dealt with the effects of systemic racism their whole life, you might find the answer enlightening.

I'd direct the question instead to all the white people who have no idea what the black experience is yet seem to have no problem editing the language on PoC's behalf so they can feel like they're "doing something" while PoC's freedoms and lives are being eviscerated by our justice system.
