The New Definition of Racism
What has been increasingly clear is that there is no longer a universal definition of racism. There is a combination of a changing demographic where white people are racing toward becoming a minority in America, plus the increasing pressure from multiple groups to receive what they have been systemically prevented from having. This has caused those in power to attempt to justify their actions. Actions whose whole purpose is to maintain power by keeping others down. Without making it seem like what it inherently is. Racist!
It is still at least somewhat a true thing that most people don’t want to be called racist. Even when leading the charge on what used to be clearly seen as racist behavior. Voter suppression has always had its roots in maintaining power for certain people over others. At one time, the only people in America who could vote were white men who owned land. Every grudging concession since then was an allowance that was also countered by other measures to maintain control, even when ceding some.
