Answer:

whiteness refers to white people(WHITE americans), back then white people got all the good stuff while colored people (meaning everyone who is not white) got old breaking down things. This influenced our society back then and made people think that white people are way better than colored. Which is SO NOT true, everyone is the same

Whiteness is often used as a derogatory term to describe Caucasian culture. This influences our society by promoting anti-White hatred.
