For those concerned about institutional racism and wonder how it still looks, I offer you exhibit A and Presidential election cycle.  The first two states to vote, Iowa and New Hampshire are vastly white States. This means that presidential aspirants have to spend considerable time addressing the needs and issues of white voters.  Let that sink in, for sometimes over a year, presidential candidates have to be steeped in white concerns.  The National media who cover these candidates then show us, the Nation, a year of coverage of white people talking to these candidates about their concerns.  NOT the concerns of any other groups.  This seriously normalizes the belief in white superiority.  This needs to stop.
