Don't you think that might have more to do with the normalizing propaganda of white supremacy..up to and including their elected reps who both manufactured and maintained their racial anxieties in order to gain control of our institutions, gut social programs, and feed the largess to the donater class - their owners?
It could be a case of carrot and stick here; a vocal minority of left-wing activists make the rest look like total idiots, and then, people becoming disillusioned with the left come across white supremacists talking about how they're the real oppressed ones, and how the left is powerful enough to destroy their free speech and, lacking the sort of critical apparatus necessary to properly process it and think "they're talking shit. I may be losing faith in the left's power to actually effect the sort of change we need, but there's no way this is a viable alternative" like an intelligent person would, buy into it. It also helps if they give it to you with a sort of “salt of the earth” or “truth to power” message.
And, once again, here are two articles from Cracked about why this happens (explained in such a way the common man can understand it) and why it's proving so hard to actually
make headway in discussions like this:
