This strikes me as awfully glib. My parents aren't racists and they empathize with the police reforms that BLM is advocating for (so do I).
But they were raised with the belief that racism was due to prejudice. To them, racism is judging someone by their skin color / background rather than the actions of that individual.
They don't buy into the idea of microaggressions and implicit bias. To many nowadays that makes them racist individuals. To me that begs the question, what behavior today might be seen as racist decades from now?
