Carson said he experienced racism as an eighth-grade student, but called similar acts of racism "uncommon" today.
Ben Carson, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and Trump's only African American cabinet member, said Sunday he grew up during"real systemic racism" when asked he believed there was systemic racism present in US police forces.
Carson's comments come as nationwide protests over the police killing of 46-year-old George Floyd, who is black, in Minneapolis continue after a white police officer was recorded using a neck restraint on him for more than eight minutes even after Floyd said he couldn't breathe and after he lost consciousness.
Activists who have organized against police brutality faced by African Americans have called for bigger changes that include defunding and disbanding police forces. He added:"There are things that can be done, but we need to come to mutual solutions about this and now is the time to do it."
