That put a grin on my face to step back and look at the big picture and what my face must look like as I follow all these stories. Nothing much has, in these stories, put a grin on my face, except that : )
The push to keep "racism" (man-made constructs) alive and well has been going on for so long, overlong, one has to step back away from it, to get a sound (if not saner) perspective. What do we see? Mortals. It's a Hatfield/McCoy type of brawl with regard to Public "Race" stances, IMHO. They want you angry, and they want you to join their POLITICAL IDENTITY groups. Ergo, it's not about race, per se, but rather how race can be used for Politics, laws, monies, etc.
