Whiteness

"Black people, long the victims of discrimination, have written about their vulnerabilities, suffering, and triumphs in the face of oppression and predjudice. The student of race, Hooks concluded, needed to examine the source of power, instead of its victims: What's going on with Whiteness?"

-Maurice Berger, White: Whiteness and Race in Contemporary Art

I have only just recently been introduced to this issue of Whiteness, but will write more as soon as I have a better understanding of it!
