Many Trump voters voted for Obama. Many are not racist. Some are. Not all. That's just the fact.

75. I agree depending on how we define racist

The vast majority of whites inherently harbor some prejudices. i am realistic enough regarding anthropology and psychology to include myself in that group though I detest racism and prejudice and have fought against it all my adult life. While I never for a day believed that whites were better than blacks, for example, I had a lesser comfort level around non whites than I did around the people who surrounded me every day in my youth, and they were all white. There was only one black boy in my high school. I liked him fine but had little to do with him.

Racism runs much deeper than a literal belief in white superiority, or in white nationalism either I was able to get at and disarm most of my latent prejudices when I got past high school and began having more interactions with a wider circle of people in the larger world.. In my working vocabulary I make a distinction between racism and prejudice, both are deplorable but should be dealt with differently.
