Residual racism is framed as extremist aberration rather than systemic.

Evidence

Where racism still exists, it is represented as the work of extremist individuals and organizations, psychologically unstable, monstrous individuals, who castrate and drag black bodies for miles; as the work of a tiny minority, the rotten apples in the police force; or as the unintended consequences of organizational features and policies. These are the remnants of earlier eras and the source of outrage and condemnation by all Americans when they happen today. Even more, they have been joined by other racists, so called “reverse racists.” According to this interpretation, the main racists of today are blacks, or other people of color, and the victims are whites, or other people of color. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1817 (#expands, via linked claim)

Born again racism is racism without race, racism gone private, racism without the categories to name it as such. It is racism shorn of the charge, a racism that cannot be named because nothing abounds with which to name it. It is a racism purged of historical roots, of its groundedness, a racism whose history is lost. … Born again racism, then, is a racism acknowledged, where acknowledged at all, as individualized faith, of the socially dislocated heart, rather than as institutionalized inequality. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 130 (#expands, via linked claim)
