White supremacy may be breathing its last. Yes, the Aryan Brotherhood is a cancer in the U.S. prison system, and some folks in the Deep South and the Pacific Northwest may still hope to say “Don’t let the sun set on you…” before they draw their last breath. (Most Americans know how to fill in that blank.)
But by and large, “white” America’s gotten pretty “black” since the 1960s (not to mention Jamaican). White men dance and jump, blond dreadlocks are a thing, and Larry Bird was the most dangerous trash-talker in the NBA. Amy Winehouse’s jazz-singing and Joss Stone’s soul-singing sound black, 60, and Southern, except they’re white, 27, and British. And some black folks ride Harleys and swear by country music. The racial brew in the global melting pot has done a lot of melting. Still quite a ways to go though.
