ABSTRACT

The white racial framing dominant in this society is important because it is an age-old worldview containing powerful pro-white and anti-others subframes. Over several centuries now, this very powerful white racial frame has provided the vantage point from which white Americans have understood and acted in shaping the development of this society. Because this framing is central in almost all white minds, it has become the most dominant racial framing over the centuries in the United States and across numerous other parts of the globe.
