    “But for whatever reason, we’re unwilling to stare racism in the face.”

That reason seems to lie with the answer to "Why are blacks still considered inferior by some people?".

Richard Dawkins has theorized that religion propagates down generations because older people keep telling younger people to pray to an invisible entity, and younger people have no way of distinguishing the sense from the nonsense, so they pray without questioning. I suspect that the same kind of conditioning is what's affecting the racism in the US.
