Alternet is carrying an interesting follow-up to Tim Wise’s School Shootings and White Denial essay, and of course it will precipitate a storm of denial over on MetaFilter, though I hope we can take the discussion in a different direction this time. Unfortunately there are more than a few people over there devoted to promoting color-blindness as the solution to racism out of one side of their mouth, and reminding me that I’m white (and therefore have no right to take certain positions on racism) out of the other.
