About Whiteness

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.
