Sequencing is intuitive - sequencing images in this way, is a language of which I too, am familiar. I enjoy how eloquent the resistance can be when using language with others- it’s a constant awareness of the sequencing of words as well. Fantastic.

A problem with the differentiation between “Whiteness” and “good white people I know and love”, between universality and specificity, is that the former category becomes the receptacle for the negative, and the latter contains the positive. This is too simplistic. “Whiteness” as a generalizing category contains both negative (alt-right white racists) and positive (white freedom riders). “Whiteness” is complexity. The problem is made more complex when we consider who is creating the category: whites defining what “Whiteness” describes, compared to BIPOC people defining what “Whiteness” describes; that is the category is impacted by the experiences of the group which is defining the category. “Whiteness” and “Blackness” contains the ideologies with which we are indoctrinated.
