America is hooked on the drug of white supremacy.

"None of this makes sense. Unless, that is, we come to grips with the reality that we are seeing the effects
of far too many Americans strung out on the most pervasive,
devastating, reality-warping drug to ever hit the United States: white
supremacy.

"Like all forms
of substance abuse, it has destroyed families and communities and put
enormous strains on governmental institutions. It has made millions of
Americans forsake their God and jettison their patriotism just to get a
taste.

"High on its effects, its users feel powerful, heady, even
as they and everything around them disintegrates. And, as with most
drug crises, while not everyone may be strung out, everyone is very
surely affected."

carried out by a neo-Nazi – for the White House to denounce white
supremacists. ’
