Tim Wise is one of the nation's leading anti-racism activists and author of numerous books.
He says a white supremacist mass murder occurred on the same day as the 60th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's " I Have a Dream " speech.
Wise: The world they and Trump and the Republican fascists and "conservative" movement are trying to (re)create a new American Apartheid.
John Sutter : What is there left to say about white racial terrorism? Sutter asks: How do we make sense of what is obvious to you and me and others who have studied the real history (and present) of this country and translate that for others who are willing to listen and learn? The average white American is that they don't spend much time seriously thinking about race and politics, Sutter says.
If black or brown folks were committing hate crimes and mass murders, there would be a "national conversation" about what is "wrong" with "the black family" and in the "black community" and "black culture" When a white person commits such acts of terrorism and violence, no such parallel conversation takes place.
The white family and white communities are losing their sh
t right now and have been throughout the Age of Trump.
