Wouldn't it logically follow that issues of systemic racism are a bigger problem than the narrative of systemic racism? Can't that be true without being a brainwashed white guilted liberal?

One problem is the narrative makes it harder to make progress on systemic racism.

Outside of very liberal strongholds identity politics can't get passed and they get in the way of any progress you want to actually make at trying to minimize the difference in outcomes between races.

You are assuming that admitting existence of systemic racism is identity politics.

No I'm not I'm arguing that selling the vast majority of policies and legislation as being about equity is bad politics.

People define systemic racism as different outcomes for black people than white people.

Basically no one denies that.
