It can be gripping a purse tighter when a black person walks by.
Not realizing that Confederate statues are seen very differently by others
That’s ignorance not bigotry.
Subconsciously choosing Kevin's resume over Tyrones, even though they are the same
That’s not being aware of a subconscious bias, not systemic racist.
Didn't say these were all systematic, but subconscious bias can be a subtle form of racism. Remember, I said a lot this is nuanced.
A cop pulling over a black guy for no reason,
That’s racism. Still not systemic though.
We agree. An example of racism.
The fact that black home ownership is less than white home ownership
That’s a predictable economic outcome of a 70% black illegitimacy rate.
You're blaming a lot on economics. This is systematic racism over many years. Are black folks to blame exclusively for their poor economic status?
Linked article on this for your consideration.

The fact that black folks are impoverished at a higher rate than white folks.
Another predictable economic outcome. See previous cause.
See previous comment regarding economics.
Black people are under represented in positions like CEO, sports coaches, government, etc
If blacks make up 15% of the population what percentage of them should be represented in any of those endeavors?Given their high rates of single parent families which is the highest correlative factor for future poverty, how many blacks are pursuing those positions? How many are in the pool relative to the available positions? This one is actually worth discussing.
Likely agreement then.
Overall income is lower for black people than white
Again, economics.
The fact that many people don't even recognize these factors
Vague comments about what “people” do are rarely helpful. Which people?
