if you are familiar with his other writings and speeches, you would know he doesn't deny all these things. However, he is more objective in seeking the underlying causes as opposed to blanket statements that all inequalities are due to systemic racism that the government must step in to fix.

I get what he does say in the speech about race, and I don’t disagree with him. I was dealing with the many serious problems that impact race that he doesn't address. (I’ve been reading him for a long time, and in fact, I haven’t heard him address these points nearly enough in his podcasts.) You can only get so far by running against the race mongers. Still, if you’re committed to “facing reality,” you need to face all of it.
