Overt white supremacist groups expose the fabricated content of whiteness.
Evidence
I mention this here because, however sinister and dangerous, the existence of overt white supremacist organizations can also demonstrate the effort required to create whiteness and to make it visible. At this level, the racial ideology of whiteness always depends on brute force to implement its strategies for domination, and carries with it associations with terror and death. In my opinion the presence and activity of these groups can be used to remind people of the mythic content of whiteness. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 775
