In some ways, it may be a good thing that a lot of people now say "what racism?", because we have come so far that it isn't always obvious anymore. We need to point out "that racism right there"

I haven't noticed people saying "what racism?" I have noticed them saying because of the ubiquity of cell phones and video, videos are now showing racism that got papered over in the past. Like the cop putting his knee on the black fellows neck for 9 minutes, or the three rednecks driving down a black jogger and shooting him in a scuffle. Video'd racist rants. Video'd Karen's making phone calls to police over nothing. The point is, younger generations say, is that this was going on the whole time, but now some of it is being caught on video.

We have come a long ways, but we aren't carrying the torch anymore, they are.

The Boy Scouts got taken over by religionists and isn't what it used to be.
