That’s not an accident.
It’s by design.
And it’s why the moment so many white people “woke up” in 2020 was so jarring: it contradicted everything they were taught to believe about the country, about fairness, and about themselves.
Many of you felt disoriented, angry, betrayed.
That feeling wasn’t wrong but it WAS incomplete.
Because white supremacy doesn’t just hurt Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
It deforms white people too.
