You have quoted three individuals who upon their own volition decided to expand the definition of an "institution."PUHLEEEZ......Show me where there is "INSTITUTIONALIZED" racism! You will find individuals who are racists, regardless of skin color, in all elements of society, but they are individuals and despite corporate "feelings" programs for employees and signs around the offices, supporting diversity, there remain racists among them, they just don't know it. Racism in individuals is often hidden and very subtle. In the case of George Floyd, his death wasn't the result of racism, it was a result of Floyd being a criminal and the cop putting too much pressure on his neck for too long. If Floyd had happened to be white and died as a result of too much pressure on his neck, you wouldn't have heard a peep from anyone on it and you know it.We've made just about ZERO progress in the battle to end institutionalized racism over the last 250 years. Sure, slavery has ended and blacks can vote. But Republicans still focus on black voter suppression and deep seated racism remain. Donald's doggie whistles have brought back all the hate with haters. Sad

Again...SHOW ME AN EXAMPLE OF THE INSTITUTIONALIZED racism, not single individuals being racist, otherwise, shut up!!!
LEARN something for a change. The collective wealth of ONE white family is approximately equal to 15 black families. There are many factors, but one of the prime factor is that black families haven't been able to pass a home or other assets down to their children.
Of course, you would claim is that they are lazy. Nope, it involves hundreds of years from slavery on through to redlining.

Institutional racism (also known as systemic racism) is a form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions. It is reflected in disparities regarding wealth, income, criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power and education, among other factors.
The term "institutional racism" was first coined and first used in 1967 by Stokely Carmichael (later known as Kwame Ture) and Charles V. Hamilton in Black Power: The Politics of Liberation.[1] Carmichael and Hamilton wrote that while individual racism is often identifiable because of its overt nature, institutional racism is less perceptible because of its "less overt, far more subtle" nature. Institutional racism "originates in the operation of established and respected forces in the society, and thus receives far less public condemnation than [individual racism]".[2] They gave examples.
Institutional racism was defined by Sir William Macpherson in the UK's Lawrence report (1999) as: "The collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which amount to discrimination through prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethnic people."[5][6]
Institutional racism: A government or corporate entity which limits inclusion or deliberately restricts advancement, based solely upon ones racial heritage. Companies that do this, end up sued and in court, losing.
I say again, find me an actual "institution" which restricts employment to anyone based upon their racial heritage. When you find that company, I will stand beside you and protest.
