Race Post

For this post, please post about race.  You may wish to talk about the social construction of race (Here is a great recap that articulates the myth of race as genetics and why it is a social construction http://www.vox.com/2015/1/13/7536655/race-myth-debunked ),
ingroups/outgroups and stereotypes and prejudices especially explicit and implicit racism as well as white privilege.  Check out Macklemore's Song  White Privilege   



   He has also made the song White Privilege II which seems to be about the struggle of identity as a white person supporting Black Lives Matters and why he needs to support BLM.




As you apply it to your own experiences, you might want to think about: assumptions you have had about race (esp. biological), experiences you have had with other races and/or racism, and how privilege affects you. 

Sources you must use:
White Like Me video; Racial Formations Article (Omi and Winant); Macklemore Lyrics, READ SOME OF THESE ARTICLES and all the links/ideas on my blog.
