The Test You Can't Fail

I met a woman from New York on Facebook who creates art related to diversity. She shared a very interesting article--actually a test--by Molly Secours that I think really drives the point home regarding white privilege. I hope that people begin to really think about what white privilege is, because right now, there is such a racial divide in our country between those who see so clearly the racial injustices that happen in our society, and those who deny that racism exists. The ultimate white privilege is to not have to talk about race, and those who would like to sweep the racial aspect of the Trayvon Martin case under the rug are exerting their white privilege.

Here's the test. You can't fail, and you may discover something about yourself.
