Systemic racism most certainly exists in the US. Not only was slavery widespread, there were never any reparations to those enslaved (or Native Americans). There are Black people alive today who existed prior to having their civil rights legally encoded in the 1960s. Our capitalist system is an illusion built on the back of "free" land and labor and those who had their land and labor stripped from them have never been made whole. It's pretty much the definition of systemic racism, just like apartheid in South Africa and Israel.
