There was a pandemic of racism that we fought a war over, now we have to pretend it doesn't exist anymore to keep the economy going and 'live our lives'?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. We certainly didn't fight a war over racism, but instead over chattel slavery and a states right to have that. I do not believe the north was less racist simply because they did not have slaves by the time the civil war broke out.

I also don't understand your "doesn't exist" comment. Racism exists (and we're also seeing the trial of "combat racism by more racism")
