White Privilege

White Privilege is real and measurable.


Macklemore Songs about White Privilege, Black Live Matters and being white at a Black Lives Matter rally, the hypocrisy/responsibility of white rappers, success in hip-hop without having to go through the struggle of the foundations of hip-hop, Is he just Elvis?, and other important topics revolving around race and identity in America

Macklemore-White Privilege

Macklemore-White Privilege II

Panel discussion with Macklemore/Ryan Lewis and others about the song....optional


Race Post.  You must discuss 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 in concerns with race, explicit and implicit racism as well as white privilege. 

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 (negatively or positively). 
You MUST include evidence of watching/reading: White Like Me (Tim Wise documentary), Tampa Bay Newspaper reports, Yes, You Can Measure White Privilege article, and reflect on the Macklemore songs.
