The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Kitimbwa Sabuni live from Sweden. Mr. Sabuni is a black male and secretary general of the National Afro-Swedish Association (Afrosvensarnas Riksförbund, ASR). Mr. Sabuni speaks publicly on a regular basis to address issues impacting black and non-white Swedish residents. Mr. Sabuni was recently featured on Al Jazeera’s The Stream to discuss current proposal to remove the term “race” from all Swedish legislation. This will allegedly help counter-racism because the concept of “race” is a social construct and removal of the term will reduce the power of a counterfeit idea. This is a massive contradiction to the September 2014 elections where the Sweden Democrats – an anti-immigrant party with roots in the “white supremacist” movement – more than doubled their vote and now hold the balance of power in Parliament. In the last thirty days two White affiliates of the Sweden Democrats have been chastised for Nazi paraphernalia. We’ll see if “interracial dating” is a public trend and what this global anti-immigrant, nativist movement reveals about White identity.
