Even if this one specific example weren’t true that is but one piece.

“Washongton is like 100% black”

“That is very not recent.
Today, is there is any evidence of systemic racism against the black community?”

It is very recent and it is still felt today.
I have a leg up thanks to a home my parents purchased in the 80’s A black person my age does not have that advantage. I will IYH be able to leave more to my children thanks to that home.
It is an advantage that I have today, it doesnt get more recent than that

Ruby Bridges is the first black child to attend a desegregated kindergarten in Louisiana.

she is only 65.

That is young, these policies are very recent. and repercusions are still being felt

I cannot do two much justice to the subject so this won’t turn into one of thsoe endless ubiquitin repeat loops (I hope)
schnitzel if you answers to your questions with link s to specific studies wikipedia has a piece on “Institutional racism” with many links to said studies
no not to one study that shows systemic racism exists. But to many small pieces that put together created this edifice.
