14. Again, this was not an overnight thing

Pro-white voters, some of whom didn't realize how pro-white they were have been preferring pro-white simpleton candidates over thoughtful pro-equality candidates for decades. Pro-white simpletons have been scaring white voters with specters of welfare queens, Willie Horton, the "crack epidemic," Black urban crime, Ebonics, Sharia Law, and so on. The fear-mongering has worked to keep communities under threat and underserved. The president who actually appointed the first two black secretaries of state ironically used the Civil Rights division of the DOJ to investigate discrimination against white voters. He also appointed a SCOTUS chief justice whose agenda has included rolling back the Voting Rights Act, something at which he continues to be successful.

Pro-white whites have always gotten away with it. And they do it with the cooperation of mainstream institutions like news media. The pro-white whites have always taken a pass on the right people to "lift us up where we belong." (Sorry, couldn't resist)
