White folks: a short tutorial on the difference between violent white supremacy & the systemic & structural kind.

Here’s the part that will upset Canadians:
America is arguably much more violently white supremacist. Canada is just as—& if you ask me, much more—systemically & structurally white supremacist. The reality is, the systemic comes ahead of the violent. No stopping the violent part w/o ending the systemic.
