It is ghoulish coincidence that, as of the writing of this essay, another act of domestic terrorism has happened in the same month that marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the English colony of Jamestown. These men and women were not the first enslaved Africans in the Western Hemisphere, but it does mark the introduction of an ideology into the foundation of American civilization that stretches across the centuries from slave ports of Africa and the Caribbean to the auction blocks of Jackson Square, the burning of Rosewood, the detonating of a truck bomb outside the Federal building in Oklahoma City, a race riot in Charlottesville, and to a Walmart in El Paso in 2019 — white supremacy. In America, we often ignore the fact that white supremacy is one of the most consequential political ideologies in human history.
