Here is my take on this. I do agree that racism is bad, and its a malaise in our society, sadly racism has been at cornerstone of human civilization. And to expunge racism is extremely difficult. I understand in the English speaking nations and protestant thought, their is an urge to eliminate racism to the pits of hell. But if you want to eliminate racism. I have a bridge to sell you.
Another thing is that we in a society live in an age of moral panic. This the 3rd major moral panic our society has had in the past 60 years. The other being Communism or Red Scare in then 1950s-1970s, while the other being the satanic panic from the 1970s to the 1990s. Now we live in this current moral panic, the anti-racism moral panic. You have people that sit around scan for racism on a constant basis. This would be your white liberal, journalist, some one engaging in radical ideas of black thought and your academics. I also find it funny that the media was able to jump from black and native American racism and now towards Asian Americans even though the media lambasted Asian Americans for being model minority and engaging and upholding White Supremacy? And how intuitions like Harvard and Yale limit Asian enrollment in their institutions, and NYCDOE eliminating gifted school programs which benefited smart but poor Asian students.
The media and academia want to label black Asian attackers as racist white supremacists. Since blacks cant be racists according to the academic left, however a black person can be racists if he or she believes in the ideology of white supremacy. I think the media and academia is looking to find white supremacists and they can not find any. So now they have to label black brutes as white supremacists. It looks like this woke anti racism thing is starting to eat itself alive. I hope this moral panic ends soon. ANd I Say this as a person of color myself.
I don't believe that the white supremacy movement is entirely at fault, although they probably contribute a significant amount. Racism exists in every ethnic group; it's an unfortunate part of the human condition.
it's the left's new term for any white people they don't like.
Which includes anyone conservative including Hispanics, Asians or middle Eastern origin. If you ain't a POC you are a target. Lot's of people like me at parties and other arrangements until they find out this Apache is a Conservative, then I'm the devil. I'm glad they show their hand early so we both don't waste our time.

I'm a white male nearing retirement. I grew in a racially diverse small Indiana suburb of Louisville, KY. I went to school with black kids. Played with black kids. I had friends that were black.
I've been working in and around the military my entire adult life, associating with black people daily for the last 40 years. I feel entirely confident in saying that if we have a racist 'problem' in this country, it's not white racism toward people of color, it's the other way around.
