No such thing as "non-racist"?

[Matthew]

Bob is leading the discussions for this book. I'm moving his first conversation here:

This book is going to be a challenge for met. I can already tell the author is going to challenge my comfortable beliefs that I do not consider myself a racist. At times I can feel racist tendencies rise up but I say its based on behavior not race, color etc.

Remembering the group rules. Christian character matters. Nuff said.
Do you agree with his premise on page 7 where he says "What's the problem with being "not racist"? It is a claim that signifies neutrality. I am not a racist but neither am I aggressively against racism. But there is no neutrality in the racism struggle.

Then on page 18 he says there is no such thing as a nonracist or race-neutral policy.
