Quotes by Charles W. Mills (?)

“Whiteness is not really a color at all, but a set of power relations.”
― Charles W. Mills, The Racial Contract

“And concepts are crucial to cognition: cognitive scientists point out that they help us to categorize, learn, remember, infer, explain, problem-solve, generalize, analogize. Correspondingly, the lack of appropriate concepts can hinder learning, interfere with memory, block inferences, obstruct explanation, and perpetuate problems.”
― Charles W. Mills, The Racial Contract

“on matters related to race, the Racial Contract prescribes for its signatories an inverted epistemology, an epistemology of ignorance, a particular pattern of localized and global cognitive dysfunctions (which are psychologically and socially functional), producing the ironic outcome that whites will in general be unable to understand the world they themselves have made.”
― Charles W. Mills, The Racial Contract
