Capitalism does not exist apart from racism. Reducing Blk ppl to property is what gives monetary & proprietary value to whiteness. I will continue to argue that the overarching conflict of the modern world is whiteness. Ppl struggle w/ it b/c it describes the world order itself.
Whiteness is not a side issue. It is the umbrella issue under which all the other issues are dissected & understood.
Our entire understanding of the world, including the conception of Eurasia being positioned at the top of every map of the world is shaped by Euro colonization & the ideology of whiteness that accompanied it. It’s so baked into everything that it easily becomes imperceptible.
The crisis of white supremacy & every institution organized around it is precisely that it’s built on oppression of nonwhite ppl, esp. the subjugation of Africa & ppl of African descent. White supremacists hold Black & brown equality to be a threat to the world order itself.
