I've been encountering a lot of liberal lefty racism and religious fundamentalism disguised as political analysis online over the time I've spent blogging among a majority amerikkkan bloggers who claim to detest their government's foreign policy as related to the middle east. People spend a lot of time discussing and debating how best to oust the village idiot from his high paying job. They debate which upper class smiling figurehead should replace him. Should the figurehead of choice be an affluent light skinned heterosexual black man? Or should they go with an affluent and stoic heterosexual white woman who has seen the inside of the big house before and liked it so much she wanted to return but this time openly at the helm?

So, my ideas and words are changing and expanding as you read. This piece is growing as I do.

I wrote this piece this afternoon while my daughter was at the library attending a reading group and taking her afternoon nap. I edited this while she slept and later, after she woke up, with her snoozing in my lap, as I've written many pieces since she was born.

BEWARE THE TYPOS...

Peggy McIntosh's White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack has been an invaluable reference and a guide for so many white folks interested in dealing with their white privilege since she wrote it I think in the late '80s.
