How is that even possible?

There is nothing inconsistent with my argument.  I am opposed to extremist comments about how all white people are racist and at the same time I am opposed to comments about how all racism ended decades ago and only exists in history and folklore.  Those are not mutually exclusive positions.

But his argument isn't that racistm ended decades ago and "only exists in history and folklore". It's that whenever someone makes an argument that may paint blacks in a negative ways it's automatically dismissed as racist because of slavery, etc.
