Wow, anyone who feels like we just have the "casual racism" of some people being impolite to other races needs to read this article. Full of stuff like:

Two years ago, Braxton says he was the only volunteer firefighter in his department to respond to a tree fire near a Black person’s home in the town of 275 people. As Braxton, 57, actively worked to put out the fire, he says, one of his white colleagues tried to take the keys to his fire truck to keep him from using it.

It's worse than the old cross-burning shit. Horrific. Not sure how to combat it when a whole town's leadership and infrastructure is so overtly racist.
