White privilege

September 30, 2007 @ 11:16 am

Surf on over to Reappropriate. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Jenn’s post on white privilege is a must read.

How do you communicate to someone who is White that their race matters? By definition, they are the “unracialized” in this country, and are never faced with their race and how it privileges them. How then can they comprehend how race fundamentally colours the experiences of people of colour?
