The secret is out; the whiteness of addiction is revealed. In contemporary America, some social media users and journalists produce and transform whiteness into something that is attached to white bodies and normative white subjectivity. Whiteness thrives in the potential ambiguity of online space in places like Facebook, where its behavioral and attitudinal dimensions are simultaneously produced and practiced as a sort of habit that is difficult to disrupt. Through social media users are possibly lead to believe that they can be omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent, which are all essential components of whiteness that are reproduced in Facebook. Yet, within these digital spaces, how are representations of "white" bodies transposed into spaces where the inhibitions of physical existence can supposedly be transcended? Why now and to what ends does it serve to magnify addiction as white and promulgate the narrative of vulnerability? How is the "heroin epidemic" made intelligible? What forms does whiteness take in news narratives and social media comments about heroin addiction? By asking these questions, I examine the whiteness of addiction in news narratives about middle and lower class whites in Northeast Ohio, while proposing that the interactivity of integrated news media and social networking has transformed how addiction and whiteness are mediated in the 21st century. The vulnerability I view as being inherent within social media and the narrative of vulnerability expressed in heroin addiction stories and testimonies are mutually reinforcing, for the transparency and vulnerability of Facebook informs narratives about vulnerability and heroin addiction.
