How unfortunate it is to be just average-looking. I'll never be able to get by on my looks alone, but I'm not so ugly that I can make a character out of my frightening face (but oh how I would enjoy embracing my ugliness). Instead, I am doomed to go through life unremarkably; I'll never be the leading lady or the comedic relief. My role will be relegated to that of the extra, the blurry face in the crowd, too plain to steal the scene.

White supremacy is more than people wearing white hoods. White supremacy is believing that justice is blind and that people get what they deserve, without regard for the racism underpinning American social structures. It's saying, "Well, he was a drug dealer" or "He was running away from the cops." White supremacy shows up in the disdain for black anger and the fear of the black body. White supremacy is the system we all live under, and if we don't call it by its name, how can we ever dismantle it?
