Every day each of us makes a cancer cell or two or three or three hundred, and our immune system, as part of its "immune surveillance" function sees that, labels it for destruction and then zaps these aberrant cells.
White racism is sort of like, that, always cropping up, trying to burrow into a tissue, an organ somewhere and then, hoping to metastasize.
If you give people immunosuppressant drugs, the malignant cells can see there aren't as many immune killer cells around to suppress them and they start multiplying, digging in, getting bold and happy.
If you give the white racist a little less oversight, same thing.
Gather a hundred of these little nasty White supremacists in a room and you have a collective IQ which does not add up to more than 90. They are there, stoking each other, telling each other how brave and heroic they are and organizing to go to a Trump rally.
That's what we had in Charlottesville, I have no doubt.
That's what we have in that great Alabama of the mindless which exists in every state, out there from Rhode Island to Texas, from Wisconsin to Colorado, from Florida to Maine.
It's always out there, but here in the happy shire, we don't have to think about it. Every once in a while a guy drives his pick up truck down Exter Road (Rte 27) with his Confederate stars and bars flag flying across the pickup bed from his American flag, as if there is no contradiction there.
It's everywhere.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
