Given the recent dicussion on white privilege and the fact that discussion of racism on RevLeft is almost ignored I think this is in order:

http://www.canopyweb.com/racism/

It is a pretty awesome website with a ton of information on white privilege and racism that this site so terribly needs.

Because it reads like some bad piss take of white guilt american lefties.

When Condelleza Rice is running the world, will you guys still get up each morning and apologise to the mirror for being white?

Jesus, I had hoped all this rubbish had gone out with Consolidated.

Besides the fact that I doubt that will ever happen, one black person in a position of power doesn't eliminate white privilege and systematic racism that has built up over 500 years.
