Yeah, it's only the people who mention racism that are keeping it alive. The people who try to make it more difficult for blacks to vote, get jobs, get home mortgages, etc., yeah their actions aren't racist at all. Not to mention the KKK, not racist, not even a little bit. Since the SCOTUS repealed the election reporting requirement of the voting rights act, practically every southern state has enacted laws that make it just a bit harder for blacks to vote than for whites. Probably just a coincidence, right?
