    Dawg, I think you may be overestimating many conservatives. Most of them don’t draw a line between personal racism and systemic racism, and many of them think racism was “solved” when Obama was elected president.

      They think that “racism” is when you’re openly lynching brown people in the town square. Or marching in klan robes. Or Nazi saluting a Nazi flag. Because they aren’t doing that, it means they’re not racist. They’re not smart enough to understand anything more subtle or indirect like generational poverty caused by a series of intentional hamstringings from enslavement to redlining and the like.
