Now, then, in order to understand white supremacy we must dismiss the fallacious notion that white people can give anybody their freedom.

Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of white people granting freedom to others is flawed and untrue. It implies that white supremacy, which places white people in a position of power and dominance, relies on the misconception that they hold the authority to grant or deny the freedom of others. To understand and challenge white supremacy, this notion must be rejected, highlighting the need to examine deeper social structures and actively dismantle systemic oppression rather than seeking validation or liberation from a specific racial group.
