Racism isn't boogeymen in white robes hanging people.

It's kindly old ladies whose smile disappears the instant they lock onto a brown kid in the grocery store.

It's bosses who somehow find a good reason to not give a non-white person a pay raise or time off.

It's ordinary people who feel uncomfortable when they encounter people who look different and then they act different towards them.

The grand majority of racism is invisible. It's a constant pressure on people who do not perfectly fit into the culture that reminds them that if they do not meet the mark of what that group of people expect from them then the consequences will be extreme.

When you are not white and live in a town of generically racist white people, there are countless small things that happen that continuously remind you that your presence is under surveillance and that your permission to exist peacefully in "their" space is an act of grace that you must forever be grateful for.

This is something that can be explained to anyone ad nauseum, but until they experience it for themselves it sounds like bs. It's so easy to ignore that most people forget this as soon as their eyes are not looking at these words.

I don't disagree with anything you've said. Just that calling DHH a white supremacist is an exaggeration. It waters down the meaning, and not sure what's left to describe violent street thugs in discourse, I guess "LiTerAL nAZis"?
