Document Summary

Race is a very effective tool bc it"s biological -> hard facts -> more difficult to challenge. Ethnicity is strategic way to challenge racial thinking. Black man"s rights to carry vs. white man"s rights to carry. Black man: will be subject to the process of incarceration. White man: has the maximum amount of protection. Used to shy away from the fact that guns are the real problem. Racialization -> the portrayal of black male= thug and white male = patriot even. The bodies of these people are the ones that are being racialized without the guns. Whiteness is the default identity where people are compared to -> the norm . Whiteness is relational -> whiteness benefits itself compared to other groups of people. Class differences also leads to different developments of whiteness. Don"t have to be white to benefit from whiteness (engaging w/those attitudes and behavior) You subordinate groups of people of color.
