systemic bigotry

I wrote, a while ago, ten or twelve years maybe—and this opinion may have been (a bit) truer back then; or else I may just have been deluded)—that systemic bigotry against minorities was slowly but significantly disappearing and all that was left was (more or less) isolated individual bigots acting outside of the official policies and procedures of the system. Whether or not that was more the case back then, it is certainly not the case now. Either I was wrong or we have backslid as a culture; or some combination of both. This is the case, at the very least, among police departments, but probably it’s true throughout the “system” that “runs” our culture; bigotry prevails as a systemic problem, and it seems to be getting worse. Bigots react against the bits of freedom and equality that minorities win for themselves via protest, persistence, and activism. The rock-headed and/or brainwashed Neanderthals and their clinging, sycophantic women can’t stand it that society is gradually turning to the left. It always does, except when the fascists rebel against it to temporarily set back the course of history and intelligence. And they are backlashing now, in the persons of police officers who stand defiantly against a culture that is intent upon changing for the better. The cops represent a large bloc of idiots who are crawling out of their holes in the earth to “support their local police.” Can you say “race war”?
