Nobody, in this case, refers to the general attitudes of the population. Personally, even when living in the south, people who hold views like the Charleston shooter are rare and disliked.

I don't think that literally nobody is racist, but I think the number of people who are is so low that their power to act and create change on society or culture is nonexistent, and growing weaker every day.

The point is that the main driver of the issues minorities today face are not with these people.
