From the '50's through the '70's and even into the '80's I thought we, the US were making progress towards equality and social justice for all. Then along came President Barak Obama and certain segments of this nation just could not accept a person of color in the White House, running this nation. Trump recognized this segment and spoke to them. That got him elected.
Let us work hard to resist such rhetoric and stand up for the that which many of us strived for over the past 70 years. Let us drive the racist back under the rocks where they were hiding.

Note: I am not including all conservatives in this. I do NOT believe all conservatives support racism. But I do believe they have been recruited by the ones that want to return to those days, the fear of a liberal government overwhelming all other concerns.

You nailed the genesis of the ruse of Trump! He feasts on the Great Replacement theory.

Depending on which poll you read, somewhere between 12% and 21% of black males voted for Trump in the 2020 election, higher than the 2016 general. This is the highest percent of black vote for a Republican since it has been measured. That along with a record low unemployment rate for blacks and the greatest number of black owned businesses prior to the pandemic doesn't sound like racism to me.

But yes racism still resides in the halls of our government. During an interview with The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne tha God, the former vice president candidate Joe Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black, man”. Yes, that is racism.
