Why is racism so normalized on social media in 2025?

In germany we have a joke this goes like this: A millionaire, a worker and an immigrant sit at a table with 10 dollar. The millionaire takes 9 dollar and says to the worker: Watch out, the immigrant wants to take your dollar!

This is basically how racism is used as a tool to misdirect attention away from the underlying system. The Republicans still use that formula, while the democrats use a modified one, they tell the black man: Watch out, the white worker has taken your dollar.

Either side uses racism to deflect attention away from the system, neither party challenges the neoliberal system. The reality is, that neither the immigrant, nor the black, nor the white workers want an excessive share of wealth, the majority of wealth was already soaked up by the super rich, which leaves the rest fighting for scraps. To change the system these groups need to unite, not to divide into even more and more sub- and identity groups which see themself slighted by other identity groups.

I don't recall any instance where a Democrat rallied against white working people.

An error you keep repeating is that you try to both-side American politics, also happens in your post that preceded the one I just quoted. While it's true that Democrats have done only little things over the years, they at least attempted to do something. American voters are in a tough situation due to the two-party system, but a chance for improvement - no matter how small - is still undoubtedly the better option than a guarantee for things to get worse.

I don't try both-side politics, I try neither-side american politics. The faulty assumption is, that you have support either the one or the other. You can reject both.

And which (even small) improvement? I already pointed out with actual data, that there was no improvement with either party in the past decades.
