"White supremacy is often subconscious. & Clearly, our nation has not been inoculated. WS is our nation's original sin;the driving logic of slavery, of Native genocide, of Jim Crow, of segregation, of mass incarceration,of 'Send Her Back.'
"It never went away. It was just dormant.
"Healing ourselves of white supremacy will be hard. It will be hard because it requires us to confront *ourselves.*
"We wish it was as simple as denouncing a white hood, a burnt cross, vile language. But we need to address where supremacy *begins,* not just where it ends."
