If you can’t hear the dog whistle in what he said, show it to a black friend of yours, someone who is good at detecting bullshit. Saying “ackshully, black people are the most racist,” and then qualifying it with “in my experience” to try to mitigate the racist statement doesn’t really fly with me. I have heard too many racist Nazi fucks say that exact phrase to not recognize it. There are other variations too for other races, such as “The Chinese/Indians/Japanese are the most racist,” the main goal being how superior western white culture is compared to whatever race is so terribly racist. It’s just another “white people are so amazing actually” circlejerk.

And I do indeed know very wealthy white racists, and anecdotally what they said to me behind closed doors is worse than anything a black person has ever said to me. Have you ever been sent pictures of dead bodies of black people hanging from trees, by a black person? And the person thought it was funny? I’ve received that and Nazi flags and all kinds of horrible racist shit from these white wealthy men. It’s fully disturbing, especially because they literally own companies. Imagine a commercial landlord having those views and what that impacts. Imagine a military contractor having those views.

Because of their success, these wealthy men do not self analyze and instead have wicked confirmation/survivor’s bias. Which truly anyone including someone who is black can succumb to - eg Kanye.
