Week 4 of The Racial State course focused on whiteness as a structure that originated from colonial and slave societies. Whiteness became a form of inherited property and identity. Students discussed in groups one thing they learned about whiteness and one thing they were still puzzled by, such as how whiteness is performed through innocence, ignorance, and fragility or how dismantling whiteness requires action from white people.
