So society is "less racist" now because entire black towns aren't getting openly slaughtered anymore, is that what you're implying?
yes? yes that's what i'm implying. We're still racist, but it's better to be a black person in today's society than it was 50 years ago.

A society where an unarmed black person can be shot by a cop and see no justice? Where they're unjustly prisoner for minor drug offences?

Has it gotten better? Slightly, but as I said before, it's adapted to the times over the last few decades.

I know it's hard for you to understand as someone who doesn't have to deal with racism in this country...

But most of the people here wouldn't tell you that there's a deep problem with this country if there wasn't.

And it's pretty damn dismissive to tell people that they "have it better now".

How is that dismissive? It's true. It doesn't mean that we should stop working to improve, there's still farther to go.
