Why is white supremacy growing in the United States? | The Bottom Line

For centuries, there was no significant challenge to the supremacy of white people in the United States.

White nationalists speak of “saving America” - but who are they saving it for? And who are they saving it from?

Host Steve Clemons asks Kathleen Belew, author of A Field Guide to White Supremacy, and Wes Bellamy, author of When White Supremacy Knocks, about the future of race in American society.
