We were if slowly, and often times dragged forwards along the Arc of Justice.
I wish I knew what/which the survey/research group etc back in the ?early 00's said that bit by bit that each generation of white kids was less racist, or more white kids were raised to believe in equality for all. (My parents raised me non-racist, I was encouraged by this).

Unfortunately, as we know plenty of racists are still around, entrenched ln various power positions in certain areas [and with drumphf & SCOTUS] the power to undo certain things, in institutional sectors, individual businesses etc.

But I believe there may be relatively less racists - and because of that- those that are are aggravated by this.
Here me out- of course - electing Obama president was never "the end of racism" (a rather ignorant statement in the face of evidence). But re-electing him got to the racists! Imho, the could chalk one term of a black person as President as a "fluke". But twice ?! Uh, oh!
So they have become more loud, relentless, sometimes more violent. Thus they, imho, appear to be more numerous bc drumphf gave them "permission" to crawl out from under the rocks they'd been often driven under.
