Argues for the necessity of a new ethos for middleclass white antiracism.Building on her book Revealing Whiteness, Shannon Sullivan identifies a constellation of attitudes common among wellmeaning white liberals that she sums up as white middleclass goodness, an orientation she critiques for being more concerned with establishing antiracist bona fides than with confronting systematic racism and privilege. Sullivan untangles the complex relationships between class and race in contemporary white identity and outlines four ways this orientation is expressed, each serving to establish ones lack of racism: the denigration of lowerclass white people as responsible for ongoing white racism, the demonization of antebellum slaveholders, an emphasis on colorblindnessespecially in the context of white childrearingand the cultivation of attitudes of white guilt, shame, and betrayal. To move beyond these distancing strategies, Sullivan argues, white people need a new ethos that acknowledges and transforms their whiteness in the pursuit of racial justice rather than seeking a selfrighteous distance from it.Sullivan posits that it is white liberals own antiracism that actually perpetuates racism by shutting down frank or nuanced discussions not only of race, but of white privilege, which created racial problems and still sustains them In advising white liberals how to honestly live their whiteness, rather than disown it or pretend it doesnt exist, Sullivan expertly deconstructs the familiar defenses Like W.E.B. DuBois and James Baldwin before her, Sullivan sees white domination as a spiritual problem that afflicts one group in particular but that touches us all. Ms. Magazine
