So absolutely true. The punditocracy and commentariat are incessantly braying like mules about "fascism," "authoritarianism," even "oligarchy," when the real issue is and always has been white supremacy, white racism, or, as you so aptly point out, anti-blackness.

Any number of "white moderates" and "white liberals" are said to have a giant blind spot when it comes to this "issue." I say that it's not a blind spot at all, but a willful ignorance, an attempt to forever avoid the biggest, blackest "elephant in the room."
