About Whiteness
Disclaimer, I’ve talk a lot of difficult topics, and I’ve also made enough mistakes to shake a few sticks at … I’m happy to talk about it all ~~ and for those who subscribe, I might start doing some tell-all’s, because there are many lessons to still be learned.
By the 1700s indentured servitude had largely been displaced by the enslavement of Africans; and this is how Whiteness was born … the lords of the land learned that if they could pit white people against the Africans, they could more easily control them both.
Whiteness, racism, was a tool to justify the enslavement of an entire continent of people and cultures; their heritage pillaged, and their descendants put into service for an entity which can never truly know it self.
