If violence doesn't work, why are white people always working to have a monopoly on inflicting it...
Also consider how white supremacy shapes what we see as violence. Poverty is violence. Incarceration is violence. Overpolicing is violence.

But we're groomed from birth to not see that.
White supremacy is so dedicated to a monopoly on violence that MILLIONS is spent on copanganda alone. Just to normalize the violence they inflict on Black, brown and indigenous people domestically and around the world...
Denying people housing is violent. Picking who deserves health care is violent. Mandatory minimums are violent. Stealing wages is violent.

But white supremacy doesn't want us to know that.
Consider how our constructions of violence are inherently racialized. Unpack. Unlearn.

There's a LOT of violence in this country.

White supremacy manipulates us to viewing some of the most insidious methods of white violence as normal.
