No it doesn’t have to be meaningful.

What racism actually is, is highly complex and requires the ability to comprehend more than one or two things at the same time.

“The problem is racism.”

Wow! Insightful oversimplification. Why not just say...

“The problem is bad people.”

Oh wait, you can’t, because the problem is more nuanced that simplistic rhetoric.

Everyone has lightness & darkness to who they are. However, unless you can acknowledge or bring light to the darkness of a problem, you can’t diagnose it.

Until you properly diagnose a problem you can’t properly minimize it.
