I agree that it's no easy undertaking.  The point I would like to 
emphasize on this list at this point is, though, that it would take a 
political struggle of on the order of World War 2 or (as you note) an 
even greater one to abolish racism.  It doesn't do to deconstruct 
whiteness in theory, however well-intentioned deconstructors might 
be.  One can't analyze whiteness to death.
