Sometimes it's the little things people say that let you know that they turn a blind eye\subtly approve it. They are the people who applaud the token appointments in the * admin. I have a friend who actually called them "liberal" appointments. Whatever that means. "Liberal appointments of believers in conservative ideology?"
The idea of appointing non-whites to high positions is still foreign enough that he thinks its brave and unusual, as opposed to something we should just expect. Ultimately though, it's acceptable to him if it doesn't happen, and he gives his stamp of approval to that unconcious racism.
Other times, it's blatent. I heard a pure xenophobe come out with it one day. People from different races shouldn't day, she said. I asked her, point blank, "what other possible reason could you have besides not wanting to pollute your gene pool?" At first she couldn't answer me. She actually said "I don't know." Then finally came up with "mixing "cultures" is hard for the children."
As long as people believe that there is a spiritual presense on their side, they believe they are somehow divinely preferred. Unfortunately, many Americans have been convinced that they are divinely preferred because they aren't hungry and have lots of things. There are people in this country who don't what does that say about them, and what are the common demographics?
There was a book written many years ago called "A Culture of Narcissism." I have only read parts of it, but in a sense when you look at the sense of entitlement the US has claimed, it was only fitting and a matter of time before we had a president with a Narcissitic Personality Disorder.
It's the people who are powerful yet in the minority who feel threatened, jealous, grandiose, and have this pathological sense of entitlement. As whites who do have a sense of racial superiority, have faded into the minority, it was bound to happen.
