What is this phenomenon in white society where they’ve convinced themselves that racism is the domain of the uneducated, when the most elite educational institutions in the nation were built using slave labor for the purposes of educating the slave owning class?
The greatest upholders of white supremacy are and have always been the elite, the same white elite that control the government & major corporations & institutions today. That’s why they spent the past few years enabling the rise of Trump while telling us we were being hyperbolic
They are so certain of their inherent superiority that they’ve convinced themselves racism is only a quality of the lowbrow; they themselves happen to occupy all-white spaces simply because they represent the truly superior element of human society.
