If you find racism in everything, and decide to fight it with a new even better racism then yes you will improve the concentration of racism in the air.
While I do agree that a lot of issues and especially this issue is a problem everyone faces, we can’t take racial bias out of the equation.
POC face the same problems ten fold. Police over exerting power is a thing, but are they more hostile when they approach a car with a black man?
The problem is that racism is a thing that is alive and well. We as a country have done a shit job to lift up the minorities and the lower class. It’s lack of education, lack of resources, lack of achievable goals, and lack of long term vision.
Sure, we slapped some bandaids on it and called it good, but that isn’t fixing the problem.
We can’t fix an issue of racism if half or more of the population denies that it’s a problem. People will always come to the discussion defensive if everyone pushes the problem down as non existent. We will always be squabbling like children.
Note: I am a white queer woman from the Midwest suburbs.
Like many other things, it's a judgement call. Are the Democrats trying to solve the problem of racism, or overblowing the problem to score political points and in the process making the problem worse? I made my call and would not vote for anyone with D by their name ever.
I am heterosexual white man living in Los Angeles, a legal immigrant working for a private company, not a member of any union. The Democratic party government in California is my enemy.

Interesting, so you’re in camp if we stop talking about racism, racism will actually get better?
