Join me as I discuss how whiteness or white racial identity extends beyond white supremacy and how we think of it. Episode 5 starts us off for Black History Month discussing how white supremacy is related to the social construction of race, white supremacy that goes beyond extremist hate groups. How whiteness and white supremacy sets the stage for the expectations and treatment of nonwhite persons.
