I don't see anyone claiming racism doesn't exist any more or that it is a thing of the past.

The problem is that efforts to address it over the past decade or so have overcompensated to the extent of discriminating in the opposite direction or promoting divisive "us vs them" rhetoric, to the point where racism is worse now than it was in say 2013.

If you constantly tell people that they're the kings of shit and that everybody else should be prioritised over them, naturally many of them will become resentful and retaliate. 

Please explain to me the horrors of spending money to revitalize communities and schools that were harmed by redlining.

It's not so much this sort of thing that's being objected to, more stuff like diversity quotas, "all white people are racist", hypertokenism, etc.
