The governments of the past were racist and when that ceased in the present the governments allow regular people to take the blame for it. As if any of the major racist incidents of the past, e.g. slavery, would have even existed if not for governments and elites. But nowadays we get Obama telling people to look at their own behavior for any signs of undetected racism. 
Nowadays the governments are swamping the west with newcomers in such unrelenting numbers it has already destroyed the culture in many parts of the west. Again it is not the will of the people but governments and elites who have now taken it too far in the opposite direction.
