Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that “perfectly normal, good people are capable of aiding racism & white supremacy.”
In a series of tweets, the New York Congresswoman asserted that white supremacy was “subconscious,” suggesting that people do not even know they are engaging in it.
White supremacy is often subconscious. & Clearly, our nation has not been inoculated. WS is our nation’s original sin;the driving logic of slavery, of Native genocide, of Jim Crow, of segregation, of mass incarceration,of “Send Her Back.”
It never went away. It was just dormant.

She also described white supremacy as a “virus” that “exists on a larger scale beyond just the infected.”
“It is incredibly important that we recognize that perfectly normal, good people are capable of aiding racism & white supremacy,” AOC tweeted.
But it is incredibly important that we recognize that perfectly normal, good people are capable of aiding racism & white supremacy.
Recognizing that is not about pillorying people. It’s about learning to recognize *the virus* & end an oppressive system designed to hurt us *all.*

“You’re a perfectly “normal” and “good” person, you just have a white supremacist “virus” inside you which is hurting *literally* all of us, understand?” commented Chris Menahan.
Can you imagine if a Republican Congressman had tweeted that Islamism is a “virus” that “perfectly normal, good” Muslims are capable of advancing? There’d be a massive outcry.
However, given that racism against white people is the last acceptable form of racism, AOC’s remarks, which are not far removed from characterizing white people in general as a “virus,” will go largely unchallenged.
