I'm sorry you've now confused me even more.

One hopes that people alive now can actually notice why they feel the way they do.
Why is this likely, what event will overcome their cultural conditioning and the social pressure of those of their immediate community. Why would white America rewrite it's whole history to depict themselves as a bunch of murdering racists intent on expansion by ethnic cleansing.
I hope that the white Right, like Dachsund, can actually start to look at the source of their feelings about blacks, indigenous people and so on, rather than the facile reasons they have tended to present as the reasons for their hatred. I mentioned that I saw this as a parallel, a partial one, to their insight about virtue signalling by some people on the Left. I think they are on to something there. However they seem to lose this kind of psychological insight when looking in the mirror.
I was not weighing in on the chances of this happening.
