White people in North America live in a society that is deeply separate and unequal by race, and white people are the beneficiaries of that separation and inequality. As a result, we are insulated from racial stress, at the same time that we come to feel entitled to and deserving of our advantage. Given how seldom we experience racial discomfort in a society we dominate, we haven’t had to build our racial stamina.
What do you think of the term racial stamina? To what is she refering?
How is this true with you? Are there times you have felt uncomfratable talking aout race or confronting your racism?
