2019-04-29 | It’s time to talk about being white in America - The Washington Post
'For too long, many white Americans have avoided this conversation, and we’ve done so for a reason: We don’t have to see the color white. '
'A white American does not have to think about being white when walking down the street — while people marked as not-white are often noticed and surveilled. '
'To refute Trump-style politics, white Americans of conscience have to “see” what their whiteness means. '
'My research suggests that constantly blaming “others” masks ways that the GOP platform depends on rendering even its working-class white supporters expendable. '
'That’s the dilemma facing white Americans who recoil from Trump’s cruel politics — and Democratic politicians who wish to speak to conservative white voters. '
