Racism since Jim Crow ended is practiced in a different way. It is not overt in practice but covert in policy and attitudes. The covert nature of the racism allows members of the racist subculture to claim plausible deniability. We now face perhaps an insidious and arrogant type of white backlash. Whites who are “tired of hearing” blacks and other nonwhites protesting and complaining about white racism.
"In short, a large number of white Americans have become comfortable with as much racial inequality and segregation as a putatively nondiscriminatory polity and free market economy can produce. Hence, the reproduction and, on some dimensions, the worsening of racial inequalities. These circumstances are rendered culturally palatable by the new ideology of Laissez Faire Racism."-Lawrence Bobo, James R. Kluegel, Ryan A. Smith - LAISSEZ FAIRE RACISM: The Crystallization of a 'Kinder, Gentler' Anti-Black Ideology
Laissez Faire Racism involves:
persistent negative stereotyping of African Americans,
a tendency to blame blacks themselves for the black-white gap in socioeconomic standing,
and
resistance to meaningful policy efforts to ameliorate America's racist social conditions and institutions.”
This forum is full of such racism and those who I have called racists do what is described above.
