I have only recently started looking at White Priveledge and racism in a very new light. Most white people, including myself, have a true blind spot about our assumptions about people of color as well as about being white. This book Learning to Be White: Money, Race, and God in America, which I am still reading, opened my eyes to how we, at a very young age, start learning to recognize difference between races from our caretakers.Thandeka writes about childhood incidents which are only too common, such as, parents making it clear that a new friend of color is not a welcome friend and not welcome in the home, a new boyfriend of color, also not approved of or welcome. As children we accept thi s, as we depend on our caretakers (parents) for love and a place of belonging.There is much that white people take for granted that is ours simply because we are white. As Thandeka states it, we, as white people are "in the driver's seat."Thandeka also writes about the difficult assimilation of immigrants to the United States and how these people have been taught to become racist by the white people with power. A very difficult read at times, not a "fun book," but very eye-opening. A book I recommend reading to illuminate those blind spots about race.
