Patton & Bondi (2015), bell hooks (1989), Gillborn (2015) all make make clear that white supremacy is not primarily explicit, self-aware, obvious racism.
No, it is the dull, nuanced, everyday behaviours that subtly organise the world to the advantage of white people, my people.

And when I see (what I think is obvious) racism, Islamophobia I also see its recipients downplay it.

Aamer Rahman is one of the best comedians in the game right now, check out these vids below

It's now usually too awful to come on here but today I find myself to be standing with CAGE, MEND, FoAA, MAB, Peter Tatchell, Priti Patel, the Countryside Alliance.
I'm worried that that makes me an extremist.
