I appreciate the points you’re making, and do not entirely disagree. I think the fundamental difference is that when I and many others are talking about “racism,“ we are talking about systemic problems that still exist. Whether it’s in hiring, policing, politics, or the media. There are real repercussions for people of color that don’t necessarily come from people who are overtly racist. And when people ignore those things, or do any of the four things I mentioned in my essay here, even if they are not as bad as Trump or his cronies, the end affect can still be the same.
