This article examines the cultural narratives of racialized inequalities in U.S. society, proposing a privilege narratives framework centered on racial dispossession mechanisms that shape contemporary racial discourse. In contrast to color-blind racism, the hoarding of Indigenous resources requires narrations that historically legitimate the dominant culture's territoriality.
This article focuses on the cultural narratives underlying U.S. society's racialized inequalities. Informed by settler colonial theory and Charles Tilly's work on durable inequality, I outline a privilege narratives framework that centers the dual mechanisms of racial dispossession that construct white supremacy's material foundations: (1) the exploitation of non-Indigenous bodies and (2) the opportunity hoarding of Indigenous resources. I argue that these complementary, yet divergent, mechanisms shape distinctive patterns in contemporary racial discourse. In contrast to color-blind racism's ahistoric and spatially disembedded storylines, the hoarding of Indigenous resources requires narrations that historically legitimate the dominant culture's territoriality. Thus, in comparison with other racialized groups, racial discourse surrounding Indigenous peoples remains rooted in the defense of the territorial foundations of white property. Empirical support for the theoretical framework is provided through a sample of purposive follow-up interviews of non-Indigenous bystanders with historical connections to the American Indian Movement's (AIM) Red Power activism in the 1970s.
