If you are up to the challenge, read this article on "White Privelge." It is not meant to offend anyone, just to get you thinking about another perspective. I thought that this, being one of my favorite articles I have read since being in college, might be of interest to others. It changed how I see things around me. It altered how I see the differences in those around me. It made me question what I learned in high school. It made me want to be a more independent thinker as opposed to regergetating recycled media. It made me want to learn what life is objectively, which isn't easy to do. It made me realize how ignorant I had been in my life, for the first time in my life. You don't have to agree with it either, but if it makes you think than it is worth reading, right?
I read this article for a class last Spring! It does get you thinking...and was the jumping point for a very interesting conversation in class regarding our education system. Good share!
