As I re-read Caste, I'm thinking about the 12 generations of slavery in America, which equals approximately 250 years of history, followed by 100 years of Jim Crow, or 5 additional generations. That equals 17 generations of white supremacy by 1963. If we're in our 3rd generation of post-white supremacy in America, no wonder things look so dire and appear so hopeless. That's a lot of white supremacy of untangle. Reading the Atlantic's "Inheritance."
