“What’s Race Got To Do With It??”

What kills me is how the white folks pussyfoot about how much whiteness gives them privilege and power.

One white woman pretty much goes “Whiteness is a blessing… I wouldn’t be anything else BUT white….”

About 40 minutes into it, and I’ve enjoyed watching folks learning about each other, and more people than I expected actually getting the point.

What killed me is the fact that the young Asian woman was straight up playing into whiteness like no tomorrow going “Well, we ALL have an equal part to play in ending racism…” I’m glad the young latina woman set her ass straight.

Seriously. She was the one who annoyed me the most, in the end. I was surprised and happy to see that girl getting it right at the end of it (with the ponytail), the one who talked about how she started off worried about being hated, but ended the class concerned about how to proceed. She’s doing it right.

So far, anyway. Good on her.

I know I posted a long video on racism earlier, but this one is FANTASTIC. So, so, so good. If you have 50 minutes, check this out. A ton of brilliant points about microaggressions, intent, systems of power, and how celebrating a culture doesn’t always equal social justice.

ugh so much good talk on racism on my dash lately. THIS MAKES ME HAPPY.

Reblogging to watch when I can. Vurry interesting.
