Agreed. And you can see any topic on privilege that comes from Whiteness on this forum is just an exercise of slamming your forehead into a wall repeatedly.
One of my favorite articles is titled Whiteness as Property by Cheryl Harris. She's a lawyer, and she writes about Whiteness, how it was created through law in colonial america, and how it has been reified over the years to become this amazing bank of privileges. It's worth a read.
My dissertation is a long way off, but it's basically going to be about my experiences as a white teacher in all black schools, and how my students taught me more than I taught them.
