Like you often say, people want to protect their privilege. I couldn't access the first site. It was blocked by our filter at work. Which really makes me wonder about the site *laughs*. Unfortunately, comments like those don't even shock me any more. Disappoint me, yes, but not shock. They're actually pretty mild compared to some of the comments I've seen from folks like them.

I was shocked when I read the commentary on those two sites. Disagreement is one thing but advocating violence is quite another. The amount of support I have received about this issue is very heartwarming. If we can just pay a little more attention to owning our unearned privilege perhaps we can raise the bar far enough so that others may join us at the table of plenty. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Renees last blog post..<a href="http://www.womanist-musings.com/2009/01/it-post-racial-and-post-feminist-world.html" rel="nofollow">It's A Post Racial and Post Feminist World</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Thanks so much for the shout out.
