That's present-tense.
Maybe Bassett misspoke. Nevertheless, people need to be careful how they say things or they will get misinterpreted.
Yes, if you go back far enough, you can find a lot of death caused by racism. Nobody disputes that.

- ravenstine 6y agoHow so? I'm disputing deaths in recent history, based on the present-tense phrasing, not the fact that racism has killed millions throughout the history of the United States. As far as I can tell, we don't disagree on the latter point. You speak as if I'm dumb and didn't know about the African slave trade.
