As a powerful identity politic, whiteness matters for everything: infant mortality, education, health, wealth, income, life expectancy....

Whiteness is the identity politic that automatically makes you think of white folks when you hear "working class." Ahem.

If there was ever a working class in the US, it's been black folks. Robbed of labor to create the nation, never compensated to this day.

Whiteness been so successful as an identity politic that it's invisible, seeped into nearly every institution and practice. That's powerful.
