If you are white and haven't already read White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son (Tim Wise), you need to go out and get your hands on it. Consider it your responsibility as someone who is privileged and who takes that privilege for granted (because we all do).

Especially, and particularly, if you are sitting there rolling your eyes and thinking that you *don't* need to read this book at all. That you aren't racist. That you're all up on racial-issues. That you're the epitome of multi-culti-ness. That you are colorblind and treat everyone the same. That racial inequality isn't an issue anymore.

Get ye.

Seriously.

It is a book that every white person should read, and it's a book that really should be implemented into high school curriculum (but which never will be, I'm sure).

So do it.

Because you really should give enough of a shit to squeeze these 160 pages into your week.
