Let's imagine there is a just future ahead. How do we get there? Suppress white supremecy from public discussion, and hope it dies out from loneliness in a few generations? Good luck with that. I want white supremacism die out, not white supremacist people themselves. I want their voice in the public dialogue. I want white supremacists to bring their ideology into the public sphere so that it can be visibly argued against. I want white supremacists to experience a change of heart.

Slavery, lynch mobs, KKK, etc. all were considered normal. "To Kill a Mockingbird" was a book that talked about how normal such attitudes were (and still are in parts of the South) White supremacy has been denormalized and it is dying says that continued denormalization does work. In Durham, NC a confederate statue was pulled down. In the video, white people were seen abusing it. White people. That is what denormalization looks like.
