There is a large portion of the population who will say "sure racism still exists", but they don't believe any action is racist unles the perp is wearing a hood and sheet or else has a sign that say "I hate black people" in their yard.

The big problem from the black perspective is that you don't hear many stories of white kids getting chased down and shot to death just because a white person had been trespassing recently in a neighborhood.  Arbery did not fit the description of the alleged trespasser.  He just happened to be almost the same color.  And he was not chased down to be lectured about not trespassing.  He was chased by armed men who decided to kill him because they though he had a gun in his jogging shorts at some other time.

But since the white guys don't have any swastika tattoos on their faces or KKK painted on the side of their truck then some people say there couldn't possibly be any racial element to this crime.

Even if Arbery was the guy who was trespassing there was no evidence he was violent.  There was no evidence that anyone in the community was in danger.  There was NO REASON TO TRY AND HOLD HIM AT GUNPOINT.

Here's an equally sad truth:

Folks will consider EVERY crime a white person commits against a black person to be because of race.
