Recall my confusion a couple weeks back when I discovered that the leader of White Supremacist militia the Proud Boys was actually a Black man? Professor Cristina Beltran of NYU clarifies things for us with this helpful explainer in the Washington Post.
BIPOC voters too often voted for the allegedly white supremacist Trump because he offers them Multi-racial Whiteness!
Seemed like a crock of you-know-what, till I got to the nub of the matter well into the piece; the "whiteness" we're talking about is not a skin colour, but a "political color."
Got it? That explains how a Black man can lead a White supremacist organization. By extension, that must mean that the majority White members of the group must also believe that Whiteness is about political colur rather than skin tone.
Puts a whole new spin on "White Supremacy," doesn't it!?
