It was impactful to hear how white people’s ignorance of white supremacy is an intentional product of the system. I would appreciate to hear more thoughts on this

Historically, the development of systemic racism and the unwillingness of white supremacy to die, has its deep context in macro-level process of U.S. institutions. These institutions consistently promote a pathologic form of anti-blackness and oppression through subordination and subjugation. White innocence, virtue, moral, physical, and intellectual superiority with defensiveness about racism in America’s past and present are fundamental components of our legalized system of white racial framing. Equally important, one finds a strong verbal-cognitive mindset linked to the language of hate, fear, guilt,repulsion, and greed in the conscious and unconscious minds of whites. Lastly, some studies speak to white ‘social alexithymia’ or the inability of many whites to understand intellectual empathy for the racialized experiences of non-whites in America.
