One of the reasons our society struggles to dismantle white supremacy is because it too often is treated as irresponsible, childish “boys will be boys” behavior opposed to the deadly, dangerous worldview that it actually is.
My 65-year-old mother, who helped integrate her high school in North Carolina, still to this day will not go to a class reunion because of the trauma she experienced being a black female teenager in Southern public schools in the 1960s.
TRUST ME: If after experiencing racism at work, school, church, etc., we could just “walk it off,” we would!
White supremacy is referring to the racist behavior of white teenage boys at elite private schools as understandable while also referring to the killing of a black 12 year old boy for playing with a toy gun by police as understandable.
