Based on your responses, I am guessing you saw nothing wrong with the cop pinning his knee on a man's neck for 8 - 9 minutes...I guess we will simply have to agree to disagree.
That's unfair, but typical of what is going on here. There are all kinds of racism. It is racist to go calling people racist, just because you disagree with their political point of view. That is common right now.
We've had a new form of free speech advocacy in America, spawned by the leftist networks, the left wing predominance on college faculties, and the same views from Hollywood and elsewhere. It says protesting that includes the destruction of businesses, that head nothing to do with Minneapolis, is free speech. And since what happened to one man in Minnesota was so deplorable, that it justifies ruining the lives of other people.
A police officer in California was killed as part of this protesting. Not much was made of the fact that he was African American.
African Americans calling whites or others who disagree with their political point of view, "racist," is just fine in the common media dialogue.. A rational discussion is not allowed.
My father grew up poor in Oklahoma during the depression. He took menial jobs, like shining shoes as a kid, and worked hard all his life to be able to afford to make me the first person in his extended family to go to college. He started at the bottom, and with a willingness to serve his customers, over time lived a decent lower half of the middle class life.
I've had people on this site more than occasionally call me racist, because I'm pretty far on the political right. I deeply resent that. I'm on the right, because I'm a born aginner, who thinks abortion is murder, and I've had this little one man company for 38 years. If I do good work, I eat better.
I believe that the country's worst sin was slavery. I argued with some older racist relatives against their point of view. They were on my mom's side. I avoided seeing my mom much, that last 20 years of her life, because I didn't want my kids being exposed to that bigotry. As a teen in the mid 60's, I was the first white kid in the history of PISD, to room with an African American kid on a road trip. We both ended up at OU.
But the "racist" tag is assigned way too often. It is too often used as a tactic, when rational discussion won't serve the accuser well. Just telling me arrogantly that I cannot understand because I'm not black, is unfair, or worse.
Any person, black, white, brown or whatever color you assign to Asian, can set their mind to living a quality life, if they will do things the right way, and work hard to achieve their goals. The biggest deterrent to achieving those goals, is to blame somebody else for their problems.
