This suggests something more complex than notions of internalized racism. It is to recognize the ways in which white supremacy is constitutive (not merely contingent) not only to whiteness and something called white racial identity but also for the subjectivity of blacks. Frantz Fanon stands as the most well-known theorist in this regard, but see also more recent departures from his and other work in Marriott (2000). 

Within the parameters of racist culture, to move away from the low areas of the body and the carnality of desire is also to move away from racialized blackness. See Frantz Fanon s prescient commentary throughout Black Skin, White Masks (New York Grove Press, 1967). See also the extended quote from Hernton that follows.
