Racism Discussion

I thought that the piece we read on white privilage was quite thought provocing. I really didn't know what to say or add because there was just such a rush of thoughts and feelings that my mind was just overwhelmed. I guess I never really thought about all the ways in which my skin color can make everyday living easier. Whether the things she said were more rooted in economics than in race I'm not quite sure, most likely they are ultimately connected. It's hard to know what is to be done. Many of the observations she noted were of things that happen almost subconsciously and unintentionally like seeing lots of music "of my race" at the record store. The first thing that comes to mind is that we can only try and control the things we intend to do. I think that a lot of the things that we enjoy, allegedly because we are white people, are not ones that we should feel guilty for.
