White supremacy shaped even deliberately protected white family lives

Evidence

As I’ve moved through the process of writing this book, of retelling my own story, however, I’ve been astonished at how ubiquitous the claims of white supremacy have been on my life. I grew up knowing that my parents had made a conscious decision to shield me and my siblings from the worst of the racism that was ubiquitous in our grandparents’ generation and before. But even with that protection, the ways in which white supremacy crept into my worldview, my faith, and even my body are overwhelming. — Robert P. Jones, White Too Long, 636
