Millions believing the government shouldn't force people to do something does not racism make.

Given the history of discrimination against black people in housing in the USA, I'd say it does.

It patently does not. Plus, assuming the worst motives for your political opponents does not elevate the conversation.

Given centuries of slavery and Jim Crow, black people have no reason to assume your motives are good.

Firstly, I was born 1987, so I would be rather insulted if anyone assumed I have a history of supporting Jim crow and slavery.

No, but you've inherited (and benefited from) a social system built on slavery and Jim Crow.

I agree, casual racists exist, and I've seen them in Trump's ranks. Conservatives like myself eagerly condemn it and Trumpism.

Well Trump won a plurality of the Republican party, so there are millions who are either casual racists or tolerate it.

Most I've interacted with are disengaged partisans. Either haven't heard or don't believe the racist bits.

Trump made his splash as a birther & from Mexican rapist comments. Anyone who signs on knows what he's about.
