White supremacy in America takes the form of routine harassment of people of color, where every routine traffic stop or any encounter with the police can turn deadly in a second. Political parties stoke white fear to get elected within an architecture of gerrymandering, stop and search, and the Electoral College. Systemic racism has reached such a pitch in the U.S. that children are being shot down for no reason other than they are Black.
