I don't understand how people can think that if something isn't intentional, it isn't racist (or whatever other form of prejudice). How can they not understand that the system is racist and that racism can exist even without people deliberately intending to be racist.

Because most people aren't inherently racist. Social patterns are not individual thoughts and inclinations. The very unconscious nature of it makes it a bitch to tackle.

No but if they don't actually apologize and try to do better after someone calls them out (nicely ), they get suspect.

I'm talking about people who don't even acknowledged it exists. I'm talking about people who, whenever racism is being discussed, say things like "he didn't mean to be racist so there was no racism here" or "that person wasn't shot because the cop hates blacks" or things like that.

""that person wasn't shot because the cop hates blacks" or things like that." yet this is the complete antithesis of your argument...?

How? I'm saying there are people out there who say that if the cop didn't choose to shoot a man just because he's black and they hate black people, then it wasn't racism. And I don't understand that mentality because there is racism in police shootings of black men even if each cop doesn't go "oh this man is black so I'm going to shoot him."

I think there's a confusion going on here between racism in the sense of individual prejudice or "things people think" and racism in the sense of a social pattern which does influence people's actions, attitudes, and thoughts.
