White supremacy does not exist or persist because whites foolishly fear people with a different skin color. it survives and thrives because whiteness delivers unfair gains and unjust enrichments to people who participate in and profit from the existence of a racial cartel that skews opportunities and life chances for their own benefit. it externalizes the worst social conditions onto communities of color and provides whites with a floor below which they cannot fall. - George Lipsitz, The Posessive Investment in Whiteness
"...Political Scientist Andrew Hacker asked his students how much money it would take to go from being white to being Black. Most students
put a dollar amount of $50 million (or $1 million per year of their life). Whiteness is an enormous enough investment that a cash value can be ascribed to it."
Not true. Count the number of stars in the sky of the cosmos of the neurons in your white mind...multiply that to the 'cash value [that] can be ascribed to [going from being white to being black]. There. You have the value of money it would take to go from being black to white.
