Social media compounds this issue by acting as both a battleground and a breeding ground for white supremacist rhetoric. Algorithms prioritize polarizing content, driving engagement through outrage rather than education. Viral content, like the tech mogul's salute, becomes a spectacle that diverts attention from meaningful discussions about its real true implications. This cycle of sensationalism and desensitisation directly benefits platforms financially while deepening societal divides.

As gestures like the mogul's salute are met with passive language and ambiguous framing, they lose their shock value over time, becoming part of the cultural fabric. This gradual erosion of outrage is a deliberate strategy, allowing white supremacy to entrench itself further while maintaining the illusion of progress.

To combat this, it is essential to critically analyze the language used in media and its broader implications. Recognizing and challenging the passive aggression of white supremacy requires a collective effort to demand accountability from media outlets, policymakers, and tech platforms. The narratives we consume shape our understanding of the world, and by allowing sanitized language to dominate, we risk perpetuating the very systems we seek to dismantle. For melanated populations, this fight is not just about representation but survival in a world increasingly hostile to their existence.
