Besides, in the USA white privilege is omnipresent, overarching, and totally pervasive throughout this great land. You can't escape it and you can't "wish it away". Whether in education, housing, justice,
employment, social morays, place of worship, etc., etc., etc., privilege and racism is built into the fabric of our laws, social discourse, the very ways we conduct daily business in the country.
Change will be difficult for the majority population. You have to be able to see the problem(s), before you can attempt to fix it/them. The vast majority of caucasian folks cannot see any problem,
therefore they have no need to (help) fix it.
And no, I won't be attempting to move into Radnor Township anytime soon.
There has to be room for supremacists in our diverse and inclusive society. Everyone has positive things he/she can contribute to society. The real problem is that the whole society is setup to support
and solidify white privilege, on both conscious and unconscious, visible and invisible levels. Minorities don't stand a snowball's chance in hell to gain equal footage on a societal level. An individual minority
may break through in a given segment of endeavor/work/field, some ethnicities may gain footholds in a given niche (Indians in employment/education, Asians in employment, education, and business, etc.) but as a whole there are many "feet on the necks" of minority populations as a whole. It will take a lot of work to correct the effects of white privilege in the US. We as a nation are too complacent, too self indulgent, and too lazy to take on such a major task. Call out the military on those minority troublemakers!
I pray we get better as a society and nation. I'm just not as optimistic on that account as I am about my Jays.
Go Big East.
Dear friends,
It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following. Please join
me in remembering a great icon.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly-greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities
turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry
Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and
Cap'n Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours as long- time
friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man
who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show
business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not
considered a very "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on
half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he -- even
still, as a crusty old man -- was considered a roll model for millions.
Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no
tart.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough
and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by
his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.

Great news for our MU faithful!

He will help, but Wojo has issues to solve. Midpack, at best.
Creighton 1st...erobody else is sniffing our gases!
