White supremacy is not just torches at Charlottesville. It is the fact that a Black woman in New York City is far more likely to die in connection with pregnancy and childbirth than a white woman—even if she has comparable access to health care, insurance, and education. It is the fact that the average Black family holds a small fraction of the wealth—assets, not income—the average white family holds, due in large part to slavery and past discrimination in education, employment, housing, and banking.
