I had been thinking how strange  it was that a figure who entered in the US senate in 1972 never  talked about systemic racism for over 45 years.   But Biden has always been a weirdo.  Be that as it may and now that  he is, no doubt, in late stage dementia, one could defend him by  saying that he is being made to use the term by his handlers, and  that he in fact didn't believe in the concept in his days of , what  for him could count as, lucid thinking.
But let's pretend he does take  the idea seriously.  Here is what he could do to fight systemic  racism.  He could admit that as an old white guy, who has clearly  benefited from a system full of systemic racism, that it is wrong for  him to occupy the office of the president of the United States, and  that he will forthwith resign and give the position to a person of  colour Kamala Harris.
Of course, the only problem with  this is that Kamala Harris suffers from dementedness to a greater  extent that Biden suffers from Dementia.
