“I have so many Black friends that if I were a racist, they wouldn’t be friends, they would know better than anybody, and fast,” Trump said. “They would not be with me for two minutes if they thought I was racist—and I’m not racist!”

    America isn’t racist anymore.

    Uh…

    people of a “lesser race” are default placed into a lower caste, but not necessarily, since blood, marriage, or loyalty can get them out of it.

    That’s a Reagan Era take on race. But we’re doing Retvrn style racism under the Trump Era. The idea that you can just be a Thomas Sowell / Clarence Thomas grade ass kisser and get ahead is receding. You increasingly run afoul of the Great Replacement types who believe you’ve stolen a white person’s job.
