I have no time to care about the poor fee-fees of people who uphold and continue racist structures but feel like "omg no i can't be racist i have a black friend and i think the kkk sux gosh if you're going to call people racist youre just gonna turn them off and make them worse" because racism is SO much deeper than consciously having a problem with black people.
and like, I'd basically define racism as "not struggling every day to erase insidious colonialist/imperialist/racist cultural values from your life and actions" which is about as broad a definition as it's possible to construe, because the PoC who suffer from the effects of racism and know way better than i do what racism IS say so, and to assume that white people know better about racism than they do is completely fucked up. So I'll "throw it around" while utterly denying that there is any "rightulness" to their narcissistic offense-taken. But even though I would argue that between eighty and a hundred percent of white people are racist... by anyone's definition, I find it hard to believe that it's possible to argue that less than at least a third of the population of this country is racist. and from that, I find it hard to believe that less than a supermajority of those racists vote consistently conservative.
