Modern whiteness. What is it? What constitutes the white category of race?

Do some vews actually perpetuate a nazi perspective on race? Its important to know where views come from so we can have informed dialogue.

As you go back in history and races mix, what constitutes modern whiteness. Were the greeks ever white? The romans? Parts of those areas were occupied by non whites for centuries. If they were white, are they still? Italians, French with all the colonialism that brought colonials to their french mainland? The english? Maybe the germans, for now? Most are not blue eyed blond hitler sought after nordic types although able bodied straight tall nordic types are most favored.

The criminal justice system is perhaps the clearest example of structural racism in the United States. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and the overwhelming burden of contact with the system has fallen on communities of color, especially African Americans.4 African American adults are five times more likely to be imprisoned than white Americans.5 According to data detailed in this issue brief, African Americans are twice as likely as their white counterparts to have a family member imprisoned at some point during their childhood.6 With overall incarceration rates more than 500 percent higher than they were forty years ago, black Millennials and post-Millennials are at greater risk of contact with the system than any previous generation.7 In fact, a new CAP analysis finds that 1 in 4 black Millennials had an incarcerated loved one before they even turned 18. For those born in the early 1990s, the rate is almost 1 in 3.
