本文从意识形态的角度探讨公共政治话语中白人的修辞维度。它分析了卡罗琳·莫斯利·布劳恩和杰西·赫尔姆斯之间关于包含邦联旗帜的邦联女儿会徽章专利延期的争论。在本文中，我认为修辞学家必须进行必要的批判性和自我反省的意识形态工作，以使白人可见并推翻其沉默，以抵制种族主义。要做到这一点，学者们必须找到那些涉及未言明的种族问题的互动，以及调用白人力量但不调用其明确术语的话语空间，并调查这些种族化的结构如何与性别和阶级相交叉。
This essay explores the rhetorical dimensions of whiteness in public political discourse from an ideological perspective. It analyzes a debate between Carolyn Moseley Braun and Jesse Helms over a patent extension for the United Daughters of the Confederacy insignia containing a Confederate flag. In this essay I argue that rhetoricians must do the critical and self‐reflexive ideological work necessary to make whiteness visible and overturn its silences for the purpose of resisting racism. To do this, scholars must locate interactions that implicate unspoken issues of race, discursive spaces where the power of whiteness is invoked but its explicit terminology is not, and investigate how these racialized constructions intersect with gender and class.
