Defining "white privilege"

10.07.2008

If you're reading this post, then you probably fall into one of four categories:

  • You've likely decided upon your electoral choice and it's probably Obama.

  • You've stumbled across this blog, or are one of the few people I know who is undecided, and are looking for help in determining your candidate.

  • You're totally lost, and think that I'm somehow a right-wing supporter, so chances are you won't even click the link below to read the author's valid arguments regarding white privilege.

    (If this defines you, how the hell did you end up here? That was one messed up Google search, dude!)

  • You're sick of all the election shit and are just wondering if I'm still pregnant. I am. But you should read the article anyway.

So succinct, so clear...I'm hoping this gets some major play. Everything is already moving in the right direction - but this is shit we need to confront as a country even after Obama is President!

Steal anything from this site and you'll be sent to your room without dinner.

Curious?

If you picture everything the Catholics say you should be, and then reverse damn near all of it, you'll have a good idea what I'm all about.

I can be loving and a pain in the ass, all in the same breath (it's my special talent). I have strong opinions, but am willing to listen to others. If you want to discuss politics or religion, finance or pop culture, .
