The Possessive Investment in Whiteness: How White People Profit from Identity Politics by George Lipsitz

5.0

Voting for the spineless instead of the shameless isn't going to get us out of this mess. It feels like every time we make a move to fix problems that are right there in the foundation, we simultaneously find a way to neutralize the fix and make things even worse.

It's hard to read this and not be boiling with anger. On the other hand it's way too easy to turn a blind eye to evil things we are in some ways complicit in. And it harms everyone, white people included.
