An idea that seems to have gained traction in the past several years is that of white supremacy, but it doesn’t stand up to inspection.
Here are some things a white guy would never have done: challenged Muhammad Ali in the ring, taken on Tiger Woods in a money match, tried to match Martin Luther King Jr. in vocabulary or oratorical skill, and pretended to know more about astrophysics than Neil Degrasse Tyson.
The saddest part of the white supremacy idea is that we become enemies of some genuinely enjoyable people of color who pose no particular threat to us.
It might be worth remembering that Timothy McVeigh was white, as have been almost all the mass murderers in the past decade.
