CNN published an op-ed Saturday arguing that even as America becomes more diverse, white supremacy will “adapt” as some black and brown Americans embrace ideas of “whiteness”: “It will still be White supremacy, with a tan.”
The op-ed comes as some establishment media outlets have attempted to portray conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, who leads contenders against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in the California recall, as the “black face of white supremacy.”
The op-ed, by CNN producer John Blake, argues that while he feels a “yearning embedded in my DNA that a demographic tide will overtake White supremacy,” the danger is that “White supremacy adapts … it expands to accommodate new members, if they have the right look.”
