Whiteness is the process by which White people's race is both normalised and "invisible" - White people don't question how race benefits them
Like when WP liken any form of inequality (gender/ disability/ sexuality) to racism
This erases #POC from the issue WP are elevating

Declaring oneself to be "Not Racist," is NOT the same as anti-racism The former is a subjective title Whiteness invented to escape changing the status quo The latter, anti-racism, is active transformation. Fighting racial inequality, both at individual & systemic levels.

Finally the obvious reason why "This is like racism" is racist (or "You wouldn't say this about a
#POC" and its variations) is because, at its heart, it's White people claiming racism is over. Something else is worse & more deserving of attention Whiteness manufactures this lie.Show this thread
