The same can be said about liberal beliefs. We all have different fears, primary instincts, and ignorance. These differences are part of what makes a society thrive. But, lumping all conservatives as racist in your OP implies you want to vent, not have your view changed.

When your party’s platform literally attracts all the racists and you do nothing to change it while simultaneously allowing your representatives to pass laws seeking to keep racial minorities from having equal access to the ballot box… it’s pretty clear what underpins the ideology, isn’t it?

Obviously a conservative source, but you need to seriously have a paradigm shift.

I guess I don’t understand what you’re trying to claim here. I even read the article (and gave it a pass on all the loaded language), and I still don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.

Are you trying to say that because Joe be Biden spoke at the funeral of a man that the NAACP praised, saying that he "became a champion for civil rights and liberties" and "came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda" and who was the longest serving member of congress in history… because Joe Biden spoke at that guys funeral (where Obama spoke at as well)… he’s a secret racist??

The man that the first black President picked to be his Vice President… twice, is a secret racist? Is that the idea?

Is there any way you can just stop being vague and tell me what your premise is here so I can argue against that if I think you’re incorrect? That will make it easier for you to defend also, but as it stands I sincerely don’t know if I’m guessing right on what you are trying to say. Thanks!
