"Whiteness, in the simplest most basic understanding of the word, is pre-racial. It’s an ontology that seeks to do away with stains, with cracks, with anything considered dirty or soiled or messy, like, oh, I don’t know, an actual human being."

Feels like most of the hate in the world today is latent shame. We think destroying our projections will free us of whatever parts we avoid at all costs. Are we externalizing internal battles as a form of escapism and writing it off as righteous activism?
