CB; Racism is not a personal "fact". It is objective. Racism is not personally disliking people of color. It is a system , part of the unconscious mind. It is not personal prejudice. Most racism is not the KKK. The main racism in the Reaganite era is _denial_ that the system oppresses people of color, especially Black people. It is opposing affirmative action, color blindness. Clarence Thomas is more of a racist than the vast majority of white people in the Reaganite era. Clar

Shag can explain it better than I can.
