Book excerpt: So, what is white privilege?!?And do I have it? The short answer is if you're white, yeah, you do. The good news is that there's a lot we can do, together, to undo the power dynamics and racism that keep us from embracing freedom for all. Imagine if we could all agree without the feelings of blame, shame, and guilt that racism does exist. Then we could be in the business of changing it. This book will help you get there. A book for the people by the people, told through stories, conversations, letters, poems, and essays, readers will learn about key issues pertaining to racism's continued impact on both people of color and white people.
