I feel like you’re kinda agreeing with me here. You’re absolutely right that racism is institutionalised. The question is how much and how do you hold individuals accountable for an institutional problem?

One way racism often occurs is casually and lazily, with insufficient thought given. But the average American has been trained to be intellectually lazy and incapable of sufficient thought.

The other way racism occurs is through think tanks and cold calculated planning with the aim of the wealthy (mostly white) owning class pushing an agenda.

To me it seems the only possible ways out, if there even are any, is to a) fight institutional indoctrination or b) fight (ala Luigi) the people pushing the indoctrination. In neither of these solutions does directly fighting the indoctrinated people help whatsoever, and if anything it’s exactly what the owning class wants.
