How to Approach the Guilt, Shame & Privilege of being a White Woman

I was scrolling down my emails 
when I spotted the above article title.

WHAT THE?


All the white women with whom I work 

are too busy making ends meet, working, and raising their families to feel guilt, shame, 

and they certainly do not feel privileged!


It turns out that the article was written by a white woman 

who directs research and leads events with indigenous women.





But in the article, she wrote:

"There are assumptions that being white is doing wrong."



We are responsible for what we DO  not what race or gender we are.

Brie Larson stated in a speech last year 

that she had no interest in hearing an opinion of a movie from 

someone who is male, pale, and middle-aged.


It seems to me as if we as a society have gotten lost in labeling folks as THEM and US.
The author of the article also wrote:

"People of all colors can create more harm than good. 

We need to all be part of this conversation"

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
