"Covering" was defined by the legal scholar Kenji Yoshino as the "civil rights struggle of the 21st century" but has not been as prevalent in activist terminology as privilege, allyship, micro-aggression and so forth.
An example of "covering" would be straightening one's hair in order to conform to an implicitly white standard in the workplace that would stigmatize naturally kinky hair as inherently inappropriate.
The term is tricky, however, because virtually any normative standard of comportment can (and has) been defined as inherently racist. (See the list of items described as comprising "white supremacy culture here:)https://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/white-supremacy-culture-characteristics.html …
Individualism, Objectivity, Perfectionism, Worship of the Written Word, etc.
Using these terms as a guide, what would it mean to "reimagine" the workplace to free it of "white supremacy culture"? The more you consider it, the more you fathom how utterly transformative the project intends to be.
When I speak of the "ideological succession", I don't just refer to the spreading of memes or the promulgation of ideas, I'm talking about their institutionalization within the places where Americans work and live. It's a very big story.
The memetic power of this ideology rests in its capacity to define what it attempts to unseat as "white supremacy culture," winning by default over what has been morally anathematized.
Thus, defending individualism, objectivity, the written word becomes a "defense of white supremacy", and the attempt to unbundle those aspects of the way we orient ourselves in this society can be policed out of existence.
It's a way of "winning" arguments that has increasingly come to characterize a certain faction of the Left and that "liberalism" has shown itself to lack an immunological defense against.
There is a backstop but we're at the point where implementing it cuts too deep for most people.
Or rather, "liberalism" itself is supposed to be the backstop against this, which is why it has been under such sustained attack for so long.
