If you listen to Conservatives and their Human Shields they have the perfect solution for racism, just pretend it Doesn't exist anymore. Sorry to pull your head from the sand, but it still exists. What happened to George Floyd? They he get murdered because he was a Black Conservative? I have been fighting racism for all my natural life and since the days of 1854, the Republicans still hasn't got a clue what racism really is. Racism is more abstract that skin color and name calling. It's systemic for a reason.
I write about in my blog.

You DO know that telling racist jokes is part of systemic racism, right? But you laugh even harder at white people telling anti-black jokes.
Gotcha.

(12,598 posts)"I think racist humor is A.O.K. Anytime I heard Black comedians make fun of White people, I laughed, and I laughed hard. If a White comedian was making fun of Black people, I laughed even harder. Does that make me a racist? You say yes? Then, you are a double agent for the Right wing that has infiltrated the Left."

Example:
"When entering a parking lot filled with cars of various colors, you always park next to a car that is white."
..... uhmmmmm...... nobody does this but you.
There are tons of subconscious racist acts floating around in our society.
These aren't them.

The term race is invalid according to science. There are more genetic difference within the the so called races than between them.

I'll confess that I am a hell of a lot more comfortable around college educated and erudite African Americans who share my culture than I will ever be around even the most lilly-white person who speaks with a inner-city vernacular and listens to rap and hip-hop. I'd *love* to hang with Cornelius West and would not care to with Eminem. Skin color is pretty much under my radar after 20+ years in a corporate world where, to its credit, my big evil company did an excellent job of promoting people of color, but use 'axe' instead of 'ask' and I'm immediately uncomfortable.
