Degrees of Blog Separation

I love blogging. I'm a Facebook addict. I love connections. So, imagine my giggles of delight when I find a new and interesting blog that is connected by a few other blogs to me. Thanks to some of my readers, I caught on to an interesting blog called "Resist Racism". Clicked on it and and managed to ignore my fighting children long enough to read some good stuff. I especially liked two of their pages: Racism 101 and We Heard it Before

Here is a sample of the Racism 101 part that I really liked:

1. White privilege exists.
2. Sanctuary is not segregation.
3. Flipping the actors does not lend clarity to an issue, nor does it mean that you have created equivalent analogies. See entry under Fallacious Flip.
4. People must own their feelings and expressions. Ventriloquy is not helpful in discussions of racism.
5. Seeking the empowerment of people of color is not the same as disenfranchising white people.
6. Racism is more than individual acts of meanness.

Looking forward to reading more of their posts - catch some of their stuff when you can!
