Abstract
As we have worked to illustrate through our narratives, the framework of liberalism privileges the historical dominance of Whites and Whiteness. Our narratives also illustrate that individuals and groups—either knowingly or unknowingly, it matters not because the damage is done—do willfully and with alternative choices available enter into interactions and make decisions that draw on and help to defend, sustain, and further perpetuate liberalism with its historical privileging of Whiteness.
