Until you recognize the continuum of white supremacy in this country and work actively to dismantle it, you'll continue to be an unwitting fool in protecting it.
The silence among you, toonces, hail, snu, and a ton of other conservatives here when one of you does mention things like that, and the instant challenge and pedantry to claims to the contrary from the left make you absolutely culpable, however much you'll try to weasel your way out of personal responsibility.
Look how you shade everything in that second quotation: you've never said there are zero instances of racism -- not zeeeeeero -- but there are MANY false cases and downright lies.
Here's a pretty good sign of privilege: If one side can acknowledge one case of racism every 3-4 years and use that as credibility in denying every other case, they're abusing privilege. If another side concedes a case of fake racism and it casts doubt on every other allegation of racism, there's no privilege. I'm perfectly aware of unfair claims of racism. I'm also aware that making concessions from a position of disadvantage is how people lose and that asking for concessions from a position of advantage is how the status quo keeps others oppressed. (See bold at beginning of my post, rinse, wash, repeat.)
