Why were Hillary’s comments at the DNC about “systemic racism” met with silence?

Why were Hillary Clinton’s comments at the Democratic National Convention about “systemic racism” met with silence?

Despite extensive talk about "race relations," many Americans still refuse to look the problem in the face

CHAUNCEY DEVEGA

At about the 52 minute mark during her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton told the audience the following:

We have to heal the divides in our country. Not just on guns. But on race. Immigration. And more. And that starts with listening, listening to each other. Trying, as best we can, to walk in each other’s shoes.

So let’s put ourselves in the shoes of young black and Latino men and women who face the effects of systemic racism, and are made to feel like their lives are disposable (my - the author's- emphasis added).

There were few if any extensive “think pieces” written about the above passage. The moribund and oft-discussed “national conversation” on race has not turned its attention to Hillary Clinton’s plea and implied promise. Words that should have resonated were instead met with relative silence. Why is this?

Perhaps Hillary Clinton’s comments on the color line, justice, and empathy were lost during a week when the Democratic Party was celebrating America’s diversity. As such, the Democrats’ (re)capturing the language and symbolism of America as a “shining city on the hill,” and her people as blessed by destiny and God for greatness, overshadowed any discussion of the country’s many shortcomings.
