White supremacy, with a tan

(CNN)Cutting taxes for the rich helps the poor. There is no such thing as a Republican or a Democratic judge. Climate change is a hoax.

Some political myths refuse to die despite all evidence the contrary. Here's another:

When White people are no longer a majority, racism will fade and the US "will never be a White country again."

This myth was reinforced recently when the US Census' 2020 report revealed that people who identify as White alone declined for the first time since the Census began in 1790. The majority of Americans under 18 are now people of color, and people who identity as multiracial increased by 276% over the last decade.

These Census figures seemed to validate a common assumption: The US is barreling toward becoming a rainbow nation around 2045, when White people are projected to become a minority.
That year has been depicted as "a countdown to the White apocalypse," and "dreadful" news for White supremacists." Two commentators even predicted the US "White majority will soon disappear forever." It's now taken as a given that the "Browning of America" will lead to the erosion of White supremacy.

I used to believe those predictions. Now I have a different conclusion:

Don't ever underestimate White supremacy's ability to adapt.

I find it simultaneously amusing and extremely irritating that all these nuts who shriek about "white supremacy" cannot ever actually define the term.
They holler and bellow about how Evil Whitey is always doing nasty things to non-whites (mainly blacks) without ever explaining how they're doing it. How does a white person make black males shoot other black males (and many innocent black children) in staggering numbers? How does a white person make black students perform abysmally in academics?
They never answer the question of how someone like Oprah Winfrey, coming from an impoverished childhood, managed to accumulate over three billion smackers in a system that is supposedly dedicated to keeping black people down. There are many other black billionaires and multi-millionaires.
 How could that happen in a country dominated by white racists who would never give a black person a chance?
