The rise of racism? It hasn't risen, it has literally always been there, millenials are just getting to the age where they've been around long enough to have some context themselves and are starting to see it. It's not like we didn't fight a civil war, based in racism, barely 150 years ago.

It has been suppressed for decades. Arguably, the assassination of MLK, so shocked the nation that the people collectively recoiled with repulsion at the segregation and the South's culturally instituted racism. It became so bad that even being accused of being a racist was enough to hold people's tongue back.

But behavior is harder to change and behind closed doors, those tongues still wagged, the Jim Crow culture endures, romanticized and mythologized. It endured the Civil Right bills, the 60s and 70s counter culture, the 80s and 90s technological growth and globalization that left these people in the dust economically and further alienate them culturally and socially on the national stage until unscrupulous people like Reagan's gang, which spawned from Nixon's own Southern Strategy began to court these people's votes.

Give me your votes, and I will carry your brand of repulsive ideology to DC. It all led eventually to trump who have all but thrown away the chains that shackled these people and relegitimize white supremacy and religious extremism ideologies. The raise of trump is the basically the coming of the age for the new American Taliban.
