Hello Miss Smith,

Thanks for the compliment, I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

Your question of where White Privilege comes from is answerable. White Privilege is simply the product of good old fashioned White Supremacy: the notion that “White is Right and well…fuck the rest of ya’ll; we will crush you”. Plain and simple; hard and fast, blunt and truthful.

I highly recommend a visit to the blog “Assault on Black Folks’ Sanity” (by PoC) and “Stuff White People Do” (by a White person) as they discuss White Privilege in detail; the links are in our blogroll. Of course, also feel free to pop back here if you’re so inclined. Hope you find them informative.

wow.

sitting here with my black hair and reading this was an honor. i’m working to understand white privilege and how it came about. and it’s so interesting to me that something so simple that i live everyday can be stained when the rose-colored glasses are removed. i think it’s a lot easier to live in this country if you ignore or are ignorant to white privilege but you hit the nail right on the head. we need to continue to question why things are the way they are in our society and how and if we can correct it by tapping into the consciousness of others.

I highly recommend Malcom Gladwell’s book Blink! He’s bi-racial, and he presentas some nice perspective on this among other topics.

Hi Helen,

I hope you find the book and sites enriching; they really are.

Boo-hiss indeed to all the hidden racism in well…every movement basically. I can’t say I’m amazed by it: I’m just amazed people have a problem with calling shit on it but at the same time, say they aren’t racist. A lot of anti-racism has been hijacked by White supremacy and White privilege lately; we’re gonna be doing an audit on that shit in the future here, too. Kinda why I don’t move in movements of any kind at all. Therefore, I highly suggest getting educated and listening above all else.

Thanks for linking us. I read your blog already, good start. Looking forward to more.
