Most people don't know this, but the entire Los Angeles Police Department was outed as overtly racist not long after the Rodney King beating.
Police radios are recorded. They have been for decades. When a dispatcher calls a cop or cops call the dispatcher or talk to each other, it's recorded. Everybody above the age of 7 knows this.
Yet when researchers went to check the tapes of Los Angeles police radios, they found that non-black (mostly white) officers used the n-word repeatedly to refer to African Americans on those recorded radios. They did so hundreds of times in a two or three month period.
When white people (and others) can call black people "n*gger" in broad daylight, while on the job, while not in "the south," while definitely in "liberal" California, you know the white supremacy is wide and deep in this country.
Of course that was 1992 and this is now. Yet in 2016, Trump...
After you listen to this interview of Louis C.K. and hear what he was willing to say about women and girls while HE KNEW he was being recorded too, for some sort of public television or radio broadcast, you will know just how wide and deep the male supremacy and misogyny is in this country.
Use caution: This is video is vile. Be warned.
