    On the scale of racists, I’ll take the ones that are ashamed of being that way over the loudly and proudly defiant ones.

      Were they ashamed when they segregated the black people? Were they ashamed when they economically crippled them at every turn? Were they ashamed when they made them sit in the back of their churches? Were they ashamed when they were forced to go to their own people’s colleges and universities, because they weren’t allowed admittance to the white school? This all happened in the north post Civil War. This was the endgame of America. Always has been and it’s been known since the beginning. It’s time to just sit back and watch the collapse of the empire. Nothing else to do. Racism will never fully be extinguished because it preys on our tribalistic instinct. Hard to overwrite that one.
