Conservative position is the old school racism, just with a dishonest excuse on top of it.

Those systems are not having disparate impats randomly. They were deaigned that way on purpose.

Your framing is fundamentally illiberal. Refraining from engaging using “well deep in your heart” excuses means you can self-righteously ignore any position you disagree with and never have to face real argument. And it is wonderfully non-falsifiable, so you can always use it!

This isn't a "deep in your heart" excuse. It's a documented conservative strategy for decades.

It is not "illiberal'. It is descriptive and objective. As opposed to pretending I am naive dumbo.

I did not engaged in "well deep down". I said "the motivation is clearly that. Even openly stated again and again and again whenever in front of symphatetic audience"

You come off as extremely naive dumbo right now. You are openly stating your hatred towards people who have different opinions and think you have some moral high ground here.

Looks more like they're stating hatred towards people that espouse hateful opinions.
