Can You Bankrupt White Supremacy? Jury Holds Charlottesville Organizers Liable for $26M in Damages

A federal jury has ordered a group of white supremacists to pay over $26 million in damages for their role in organizing the deadly 2017 Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Is bankrupting these organizations, is bankrupting these individuals enough to actually stop the growing threat ... of white supremacy and Nazism in the United States?" asks Slate senior editor Nicole Lewis. I don't think so." Lewis also discusses the Ahmaud Arbery murder case and why claims of self-defense from armed white people serve as a racist dog whistle." She says it's inevitably a one-sided trial when the McMichaels are the only ones [surviving] that get to claim they're scared."
