The world is rarely binary. Most people are not either racist or non-racist.

This is an extremely long article. It covers many, many things in Jabbar's life other than the subjects of civil rights and racism. To the extent racism is discussed, it's mainly done so in the long historical context of Jabbar's life experiences beginning back in the 1960's. Jabbar utters exactly one sentence in all these thousands of words using the word "racism" with regard to Trump: "He knows he is where he is because of his appeal to racism and xenophobia."

Part of that sentence ends up as the article's title.
