Lee Atwater had a fairly famous quote that I believe applies to what I believe about the situation.

The venn diagram for those three things would nearly be a circle. And to be fair, some of it isn’t blatant racism, it’s willful indifference. Willful indifference on the treatment of fellow Americans by people so caught up in “patriotism” they foam at the mouth when someone quietly kneels.
