The simpler explanation is that they don’t push back because they flat out agree.
I get that. I used to live in SC. I worked for several years for a company that made loans that were backed by the Small Business Administration. This place was a haven for The Good Old Boy Network. It was so obvious in that they had one (count them) one black man on the board of directors. They had to have a token not white person. I also think this show of diversity was required due to the backing we received from the government.
One day the main man was talking to a group of us about how he had been raised in an unusual situation at the time as both his parents worked (his mother had been a teacher). He went on to say that they had a black maid when growing up. Then he said he loved her (the maid) like he loved his own mother but he wouldn't sit down to Sunday dinner with her.
That conversation was about 15 years ago and my jaw is still slightly dropped over it. Stunning in it's blatant racism though he didn't see it as such...and neither did the other people in the room.
Now it's okay to say things like that on a public stage...and be applauded for it.
I'm your huckleberry.
