Think about the media for a moment; In a non-state sanctioned private entity news enviroment like the US where they routinely engage in moral panics about black people and how these narratives go unchecked by the state through censorship it can only be seen as a tactile endorsement of the messages of the ‘private’ media.

When you realize this media scapegoating provides cover for the largest prison population in the history of humanity, and whom most of that population are worked as slaves legally and who are political prisoners held under the drug war for the means of removing there vote, racism can be understood as the output nessacry to provide consent for this.

Racism is liberal ID politics, its trasnmitted from the upper class. I would say I agree with the initial question posed, as the American media holds global hegemony. Dismantle it and previously understood notions of racism come undone. Thats not to say racism might take another character in different ethnic groups, but at least in the west that character is black and white, but also green.
