Because ideologies don't spread when you think you are the bad guy....
Do you think the average soldier who signed up to fight after 9/11 was thinking "hey, im a part of an imperialist and racist nation's military force, being sent to progress the geopolitical goals of a group of elite interests"... or did they think "im under attack, and im going to fight the bad guys"
It's simply the reality of the average person's psychology
1. In your racist employer example, where does the idea that black people are terrible workers and untrustworthy come from? Don't those notions stem from an original plan to persecute and disenfranchise black people? Same with the racist police example. I feel like you're splitting hairs here and basically arguing the same point but feel like your explanation and assumptions are somehow more correct and logical when you're trying to describe something as multifaceted as the 'average white supremacist mind.'
2. Do you really believe there isn't a segment of of white supremacists who've come to terms with what's happened in the past in regards to the centuries of terror brought against black people and are feeling a strong fear of retribution?
