Serious thanks for this question. I'll attempt a thread. #WhiteSupremacistAntichristPoltergeist is a handy way of naming a spirit that gets hold of people. As a Tennessean who attended a segregationist academy for twelve years, I know feelingly that it's had hold of me.
Calling it a spirit helps me have compassion on myself and others while also acknowledging that I've often been complicit in a system that's often served the ends of white supremacist terror. My blindness to it doesn't change the fact of it. WSAP is real AND ridiculous.
This statue (a white supremacist terror idol) has been worthy of ridicule my whole life long. Have I ridiculed it at any point in my fifty years in Nashville? No. I'd never done the research. It's been an abomination all along. Yesterday, it came down.
