White folks really need to start developing a better understanding of what enacting whiteness looks like and how inseparable it is from them regardless of their actions so long as institutions of #racialization exist ie the pigs, landlords, etc.

Short of that your radicalism is liberalism.

More to the point, saviorism is an enactment of #whiteness not a challenge to whiteness.

The idea of #allyship as defined by exerting privilege to change the material conditions of society in a "desirable" manner is inextricably at odds with the abolition of whiteness.

Instead abolition demands the destruction of those mechanism which give rise to disproportional power dynamics.

These are two extremely different approaches that should not be conflated, the former of which I consider largely to be an upholding of #whiteness rather than a confrontation of it.

Nor should whites be confident in their abilities to shift society in a way that they think will be favorable to any group of people they are not a part of.

Our #racialization will guide our actions no matter how much supposed deconstruction we do until abolition is achieved.

Further we will not know when that point comes until people who live outside of whiteness (and likely the state) recognize us as distinct from white people. All we have ever known is existence within whiteness this leaves us unqualified to make that call.

This however does not prevent us from developing and testing methodologies that may help deliver us from it. As such this line of reasoning cannot be taken as an excuse for inaction. I have termed my methodology as reindigenization.

The juxtaposition of two case studies–Toronto and Neuchâtel-reveals two different processes of in/visibilization of power relations which are the result of everyday uses of culture.

#Policing remains the most potent medium for #racialization of the masses.

The people, including whites, will never be able to meaningfully confront material manifestations of whiteness without being confronted by the state. As such, all support of policing is support of whiteness.

#introductionpost - thanks for reblogging!
In my work I theorize processes of #(de)migranticization, #boundarymaking, #bordering, and their production of #inequalities linked to #ethnicity, #racialization, #class, #gender. My work is anchored in #reflexivemigrationstudies and I am interested in #knowledgeproduction and power. I analyse the ways the logics of the #nation-state and #coloniality (in intersection with gender/sexuality/class) lead to contemporary forms of Othering/exclusions.
