And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

I’d say various conservative factions are at each of the first 4 steps (step three: claiming systemic racism doesn’t exist, step four: “why should I be held responsible for something that my ancestors did?”)
“Conservative factions”? Buddy, that’s all of whiteness. Doesn’t matter if they’re conservative or “american liberal”(conservative but an inch to the left), they will go directly to the “but I never owned slaves, why should I have to <x> <y> and <z>”
