Official for 6th week

In what ways does what Tim Wise refers to as "White Bonding" (102-106) interact with Thandeka's concept of "White Shame" (12-13, etc.)? It seems to me that white bonding is the action which would cause the self to abandon parts of itself and to flee into whiteness seeking acceptance in a larger community. However, if this is how "whiteness" is formed it stands to reason that, just as operant conditioning requires occasional reinforcement, whiteness would require the same. Are instances such as racial jokes a form of reinforcement of the conditioned "whiteness"? Are they outlets for an individual to express that they are in fact part of that (white) community? Or do they serve both purposes, both representing and reinforcing that belonging?
Following the parallel to operant conditioning I feel that this experience of white bonding is the most likely suspect for the reinforcement of "whiteness" and from this follows that in order to break free from this racial conditioning is to confront it with punishment (either positive or negative) in order to bring about the extiction of the behavior.
