That a large percentage of white Americans if asked to picture humans will not include people who aren't white.

That the visceral reactions they have when faced with identical situations vary quite a bit depending on how much the attacked party looks like them.

I am saying that black people especially are not immediately recognized as human by many many white people.

Is that clear?

I am not saying that if you aren't strident enough on the proper threads that you are racist. That is silly
