I don't know how you're concluding that I'm dismissing racism. If you bothered to read the first line I said I don't doubt that racism exist. I'm sure some incidents are racially motivated, but at the same time, I disagree that all incidents that involve different races can be blamed on racism.

I don't doubt there is racism but not everything is necessarily racially motivated.

I once was pulled over when I did a cross-country road trip. I was given some bs reason that I cut off a semi truck when changing lanes and that my GPS unit in the car was too high and blocking my view. I'm not a POC and the cop asked tons of questions, wanted to inspect my trunk, called the k9 unit, etc. I ended up also getting a warning. Subsequently the cops followed me for miles which felt like they're trying to harass me and find another reason to pull me over. So these things exist regardless of skin color.
