It wants to dominate and impose its will on all galaxies, even those far, far away. Let’s just call this insidious force THE WHITENESS. The Whiteness’s ability to inspire fear and anger is so strong that it corrupted many well-​intentioned people, including people of color, to vote for an incompetent vulgarian in 2016 and 2020. It deludes many liberal and “moderate” whites into believing that they are the “good” ones who are committed to social justice as they talk about white privilege but never actually give up any of it. Still, they’ll have these discussions about racial equality with their white friends in establishments with white patrons from white neighborhoods—​without including the rest of us. The Whiteness has always played for all the marbles. It’s not interested in diplomacy, a representative government, free and fair elections, equitable pay, and a delicious buffet of meals from a multitude of countries. It needs a border wall, a Muslim Ban, and affirmative action for wealthy white students at Yale University. It’s a system, a structure, a paradigm, an ideology whose ultimate goal is domination and submission by any means necessary.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Wajahat Ali" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wajahat-ali/if-we-analyze-white-supremacy-from-the-philosophical-lens-of-star/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9e5/wajahat-ali-110342_affirmative-action_if-we-analyze-white-supremacy-from-the-p_1973757.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9e5/wajahat-ali-110342_affirmative-action_if-we-analyze-white-supremacy-from-the-p_1973757.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9e5/wajahat-ali-110342_affirmative-action_if-we-analyze-white-supremacy-from-the-p_1973757.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If we analyze white supremacy from the philosophical lens of Star Wars, then it is all the Sith Lords, the…” — Wajahat Ali", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/wajahat-ali/#person", "name": "Wajahat Ali", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/wajahat-ali/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b028/author-wajahat-ali-110342.jpg", "description": "The Domestic Crusaders is a play by Wajahat Ali about a Pakistani-American Muslim family." }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/wajahat-ali/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/wajahat-ali/", "name": "Wajahat Ali", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/wajahat-ali/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d81/wajahat-ali-110342_america_as-a-person-of-color-in-america-you-need_1268408.jpg" }, "description": "The Domestic Crusaders is a play by Wajahat Ali about a Pakistani-American Muslim family.
