I've spoken about this before. Our society has indoctrinated in us a certain worldview. Our psyche actively works (consciously and subconsciously) to protect itself from anything that questions it.
if you believe recognizing the virtuous qualities of your own people makes you a "racist,"
Yes, that's right. He does believe this, sort of, but not through any conscious adoption of the premise. Rather, that's the message that's permeated the media he's (we've all) consumed through our TV sets for 70 years. Consciously, like you said, we can choose to readjust it. But left to its own devices, his psyche will backpedal away from the confronting reality of impending race war etc.
This is why NFL and other sports are so ridiculously popular. It allows the races to mix in a safe and controlled environment and people subconsciously consent to the illusion that they're all the same (as long as the conversation sticks to sports). Breaking that illusion is also why politicisation of NFL was such a disaster for the Left.
Anyway, my point is; breaking through conditioning is incredibly hard.
Yup, and it’s hard for many here including myself to admit, but the real problem is. White folks kindness in general, and in most countries has been taken as weakness, and taken advantage of. The other problem is they don’t know how to come together, and turn the shit off because they have been overly domesticated, and I would even say neutered to the point now, that tribalism has been almost, if not completely bred out of them.
