years of research to demonstrate that white supremacy is neither new
nor an aberration, but rather a consistent feature of the US political landscape.
Savvy white nationalists and members of the “altright” movement use
culture jamming tactics on Facebook and Twitter to inject racist memes
like #WhiteGenocide into popular political and cultural discussions. And,
@realDonaldTrump retweets them all to his 5 million-plus followers. In
response to this increased visibility and amplification of white supremacy
in the mainstream of US political culture, white liberals express shock
at what they perceive is a new development. It is not.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">About the speaker<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Jessie Daniels is Professor of Sociology at Hunter College,
