Can be? CAN BE?
By definition, liberals ARE racist! It is baked into their philosophy of pandering, head-patting and sense of superiority!
Advocating the shotgun instead of the rifle like Biden does IS RACIST. IT is a means to avoid hurting bystanders when going after material targets that bothers them.
They do not want us to have this political ability in the showdown with the fascist state to win hearts and minds by going after their material targets instead of the humane ones they are going after to enslave in death camps.

Just finished reading a looonnng book about the philosophies behind the Lincoln/Douglas debates. The author points out that throughout American history, at least up to the 1950s or so, the party generally on the side of “the little guy” as opposed to The Man, was almost without exception more racist (anti-black, anti-Indian, etc., than its comparatively pro-business and upper-class rival.
Throughout this period, the party that appealed to “the little guy” was the Democrats, while their rivals were first the Whigs and then the Republicans.
As you say a large component of the Democratic Party switched sides on this during the 30s and 40s, though I’m a little more conciliatory than you and assign much of the switch to a reaction to the obvious example provided by Nazism of where racism leads.
Apparently Alvin Greene was the smart guy in the SC Democratic Party.
Obama attended a black nationalist church for twenty years. Holder is only interested in looking out for “my people”. Sharpton has a history of racism, but is now received as a legitimate voice in Liberal circles. Of course Liberals can be racist.
Can be racist? When aren’t they racist?
