Understanding white privilege is not easy but it is necessary if we’re serious about living anti-racist lives. One resource I learned about from one of the commenters above (Lara) is this one, The White Privilege Conference – she said it changed her completely.

You might want to see what Chagrin and Solon and Rocky River and Westlake are before you malign mine for something that’s not true.

If you have a problem with what Tim Wise has done to illuminate the problem of white privilege, I provided the links – I’d urge you to contact him. Hundreds of other blogs and bloggers have linked to him – be sure to visit them to and let them know how you feel.

You keep it real, girl!
