I can personally attest to this, from several different people in my circle of life. The people who are the most preachy about racism and whatnot always happen to be the people who are secretly very prejudice.
I know the crime statistics, I know the reality of the shattered black male family structure, I know about the problems with drugs, crime culture, et cetera. But. I give people a fair shot, and race is never my first judgement on how I should respond to a person or situation.
The people in my life who are prejudice will judge people off of just race, and shockingly frequently. Whether it is avoiding certain people, holding said people to extremely low expectations, and other forms of unfair judgement. Obviously the racists I am talking about are not fucking KKK members who will go out shooting black and brown people, because those people do not exist in today's world, and the people who are in constant cycles of fear and anger over these nonexistent boogeymen are total fools.

Well said fren.
They know deep down they are racist. They expect everyone else thinks the same way as them.
