Democrats are just as racist as the Republicans, they are just better at hiding it, just look at their bipartisan support for the border wall, ICE, and more.
The page you’re providing covers a long history. It does a great job at trying to push for a new independant party, but does a very poor job at arguing that Right and Left are the same.
Everything before “New Forms for Old Racism: Great Rebellions and the Policies to Sustain Modern Segregation” was in the early 1900’s or older when things were bad as hell. Having only the last 1/3 of the article covers the present day skews the whole thing.
If you want to say right and left are the same, look at actions:
Who propped up DEI? Who dismantled it?
Which side pushed for civil rights acts? Which pushed against them?
Which side desegrated the military?
Which side preformed DOJ investigations into police departments with patterns of racial discrimination?
Which side started The My Brother’s Keeper initiative, aimed at improving outcomes for boys and young men of color.
How about The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act addressing wage discrimination, including racial pay gaps.
or The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed by the Democratic House in 2020 (though blocked in the Senate).
or The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act restoring protections against racial voter suppression.
You can find what feels like an unending list of democrat initiatives that dampen racsim, flipping to the republicans you can find a handfull at best.
That’s just not true. They are obviously not even close to the same. They are both racist (and even both very racist), but actively engaging in white supremacy IS WORSE and I shouldn’t have to explain why. You can argue that they are both bad, but I think the side that is okay with a former police officer chasing a black man down with his truck and shooting him might be worse.
I get that you want to equate these two, that any amount of racism is somehow just as bad, but it just fucking isn’t, and I’m tired of this “both sides” bullshit when one side has active lynchers in its midsts and brandishes at the sight of a black person. Make an argument that calls out the “tough on crime” narrative that passively destroys the lives of racial minorities, but don’t call them the same. That’s such a weenie position.

Curious what you think “tough on crime” means and how it’s separate from “white supremacy” and the police killing black people. How is “tough on crime” passive? Do you think the effects of “tough on crime” on the lives of racial minorities were not intentional?
