We don't hear much from white nationalists these days. The Klan is out of date, out of money. Timothy McVeigh is dead and gone. David Duke no longer runs for office, the Aryan Nation's been sued out of existence.
Okay America, gather round. This is good, right? Shut down the hate speech, shove it into the shadows.
Carol Swain says NO. She's a black law professor with a warning. She says white nationalism is growing, its roots being fed, its ugly shoots judiciously pruned, and unless this shade-lover is exposed to the sun, it'll overwhelm us. She says the trick is understanding the truths that power the lies, and the solution is to fix injustices that bolster the so-called Identity Movement. Immigration, affirmative action, and the new white nationalism.
