Nobody is "racist" anymore...
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.
Okay, and that was an earnest question on my end to clear that point up. I was hoping the topic of racism would go in this direction. I think that racism still exists but carries such a social stigma that those who are racist are rendered powerless, which is effectively the same thing you said.
I think that this is a rather unrealistic view. There certainly is social stigma towards racism in some circles, but there are plenty of wealthy, powerful people who have racist beliefs. They may not express those beliefs openly in public (though some do), but their racism certainly influences who they hire, fire, vote for, give money to, harass, imprison, and speak for and against (among other things).I think that racism still exists but carries such a social stigma that those who are racist are rendered powerless, which is effectively the same thing you said.
