It appears that the alleged corner the United States turned in 2020 in acknowledging and tackling its systematic racism was just another dead end. This fiction presented the country with a fleeting feel-good moment and nothing else. Despite promises to address discrimination in education, employment, housing, and law enforcement during the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter mass protests, and a particularly contentious presidential election in 2020, little progress has been made in bridging America's deep racial divide.All of the pledges made by American officials four years ago appear to have been made solely to buy time. "We can deliver racial justice," President Joe Biden stated following his victory in 2020, but his pledge was patently empty. Biden thought that the national debate would change, the US would resume normal operations, and its major racism problem would be brushed under the proverbial rug.
