Ruth Gilmore argues that capitalism depends on racial inequalities. The connection between whiteness and racism is that whiteness represents a system of privilege and power that belittles others. Gilmore argues that racism and whiteness has been used to control others.
According to Gilmore criminals are actually being created by the criminal justice and the prison system. Gilmore says this because they are targeting certain groups and communities through poverty and also inequality. They are basically labeling people and being unfair to certain people by how they live.
I believe Gilmore idea of “liberation struggle” means fighting for your freedom and rights. Everyone coming together as a group to stand up for the community and stop racism and inequality. Everyone should be treated equally no matter how they look or live.
