I'd like a list of interpersonal racism that has the same historical impact, then. I'll help you get started:
I don’t think you can make sense of the Emmett Till lynching and its aftermath without the social context. It’s an expression of (systemic) racism.
I agree with you, however I'd argue that it was the aftermath of his death that displays how racism is about power, rather than his murder. The reason I'm calling it interpersonal is because most accounts accused him (falsely) of catcalling/whistling at a white woman
You just love moving those goalposts so you can keep having a leg to stand on.
I don't love you doing it. Ta-ta.
Me: racism is about power. Lists a bunch of racism
Me: ok, then list some famous historical instances of interpersonal racism.
