There are several points in the piece. Perhaps most important is that white people, in general, based on their history, their votes, and public opinion, are misguided. Throughout history, white people have named everyone a problem and a scare. That was wrong. That is/was projection. By design, it’s color that codes power and money. We call that racism, and whiteness has always tried to purify and purge itself even with those considered white by law. And really, does the reason matter? Even if we want to say power corrupts and money is the root of all evil, the point that whites have hated whites the most still stands. I would also suggest that whiteness racializes everything. So, it is always about color even when it’s just between white people. In other words, white people treat white people like they’re of a different color. They racialize them.
