Has racism gone away and the answer to that is quite clearly no , has societys intolerence to any forms of racism got better and the answer to that is yes.
Will we will having this conversation in 40 years and the answer is yes.
Remember quite a lot of racism is disguised and subtle rather than being public or obvious.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting racism is gone, it never will be.
But BLM was a slogan/movement set up in the US directly because of black people being killed by the police.
That doesn’t transpose to over here.
If they were to protest about gang culture and the amount of black people being stabbed every week, well I’d get my placard and join them........but they’re not.
