My goal is not to make any comparisons. When I talk about white people and liberation, maybe we need a different word. What I am trying to get to is that there are systems of domination/oppression that function outside of race such as capitalism, sexism, classism, nationalism, homophobia, urban/rural, and more. Those systems affect different people differently but everyone has to deal with the many boxes that oppressive society tries to put them into. Those systems are hurting everyone (except a few privileged folks at the very top), and killing the planet. We need an equitable society and uncovering whiteness as a domination system seems to me to be a big part of undermining other domination systems because they are linked.

To live in a world of peace and justice we must imagine it first. For this, we need artists and writers. I write to reach for the edges of what is possible.
