Policing, and police, in America are white supremacist from the ground up. Have you ever read Playing in the Dark by Toni Morrison? Black people and a possible Black uprising are forever, and always, in the imagination of white Americans. The police are not immune to this; in fact, they are an organization that exists, even now, because of that fear and hatred. In fact they reinforce it on a daily basis. White police officers have told me this. Racist white people become cops to be racists/kkk with badges. They also become cops and recruit each other to overtly have a racist agenda. Why would the white man, a police officer, who told me this lie? Why don’t you want to believe if? Police also have other issues. They beat their wives. They are often criminals who are corrupt and perform other crimes. Yes they occasionally kill white people. But this doesn’t make them any less white supremacist. They sell drugs and guns but that doesn’t mean they’re not white supremacists at the core.
