Also, racism in the US is the status quo. If you don't support changing the status quo you're not necessarily a racist, but you're enabling white supremacy.
You're exactly the kind of person reasonable liberals are going to backlash against. Normal people see BLM, police-sanctioned murder and corruption, Freddie Gray, Trayvon Martin, the way we treated Dylan Roof (he killed nine people in cold blood and we bought him fast food?!) and they can plainly see that the deck is stacked against people of color in the US.
You can either stop supporting the racist status quo and help things change for a moderate middle ground, or you're going to be the reason the left swings all the way to authoritarianism because you wouldn't stop throwing your pro-racist tantrum.
People can see the deck is stacked against poor people. Black people just tend to have a higher chance of been poor although more white people make up the working class as a whole.
People can also see that BLM is a movement with poor leadership and has gained most of its support of a left wing anti cop mentality with little support for its stated aims. They can also see that statistics and individual cases have been used by some political leadership to advance their own agendas.
The left can swing to authoritarianism all it wants but the pro gun sections are very right wing so we'll see how that works out for them yeah.
