"The world does not need white people to civilize others. The real White People's Burden is to civilize ourselves."
Robert Jensen, The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism, and White Privilege
"Whiteness–the whole constellation of practices, beliefs, attitudes, emotions that are mixed up in being white–is the problem. Whiteness is degraded and depraved[…] To the degree that we accept any of the meaning that the dominant society gives to whiteness, we white people are degraded and depraved."
