I can agree with you that there is a racism problem. Where I suspect we disagree is what is exacerbating it. My observation is that it is the woke identatarians (like BLM) who are racialising society and then bemoaning that it is racialised.
I cannot think of an example in history where racialising society and casting any group as "the other" has produced less racism, but this is what BLM advocate by pushing Critical Race Theory (which assumes that white people are some kind of evil other in whom racism is endemic and incurable).
It is a highly dangerous move. If you are in South Africa, demonising white people is at least a politically intelligent thing to do, because white people are too few in number to elect a demagogue to act on the divisions being sewn.
Playing identity politics when you are a minority is exceedingly foolish, as white people in Southern Africa themselves demonstrated by casting the majority as "the other", only to throw their hands up in horror when the same "other" acted on the very divisions that they had pushed for.
The way out of this mess is to go back to colour-blind policies that encourage people to identify around nation state, values and patriotism, and to stop making arbitrary immutable characteristics the central part of who someone is.
BLM want us to see race, and they want us to draw conclusions about the quality of peoples' hearts from their skin colour.
What I find amazing is that the identatarians cannot connect their own actions to the outcomes they are seeing. Rather than questioning whether their policies and ideas are producing the opposite outcome of what they intend, they instead double-down and assume that their ideas are flawless, and that the problem is that they have not implemented them with the right dose. It's like a medievel doctor pronouncing the dead patient as having died because they weren't bled enough.
I really hope things improve soon, but my fear is that white identity politics is only just beginning. And the history of Europe shows how catastrophic identity politics has been. Look at the former Yugoslavia - people who were formerly neighbours on good terms came to hate each other to the point of murder - and this was with people who were indistinguishable from a superficial racial point of view.
