If you’re a white liberal you fight this internal, unconscious racism in a number of ways. For example:
You make a point of being ostentatiously friendly with black people;
You never disapprove of “black culture,” even the subculture of lower-class blacks;
You pretend to yourself that you like hip-hop music;
You think Al Sharpton makes a worthwhile contribution to American political discussion;
In collisions between the police and young black males, you give the benefit of the doubt to the young black males;
In the 2008 Democratic primary you voted for Obama, not Hillary; and since then you have approved of everything Obama has done, no matter how inept.
