white may not be right after all
In class Thursday, we engaged in a conversation about reparation. Becky very eloquently stated that the reason repatriation is necessary is because whites are the beneficiaries of past atrocities against people of other races.
Another professor not only shares this view, but does an awesome job of unpacking it. Please follow this link and she what she has to say about it.

This is a powerful essay, one that I had access to before it was published. I've used it in undergraduate classes, and it can have the effect of throwing a hand grenade into the class. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Thanks for linking to this; I think I'll use it again this fall!
