Martha at Momsoap is featuring posts about racism written by white people on her blog. It started as a Black History Month set of guest posts, but she recently decided to extend the series indefinitely. The stories she is featuring definitely spark some intense thoughts, can lead to interesting (sometimes divisive) conversations, and are extremely valuable for anyone trying to make sense of our society's views on "race".
Just as with the posts Martha writes about her life as a mom to a biracial child, this series on racism from a white perspective fascinates me. I was honored when she contacted me to write a guest post. Check out my post about teaching black students how to act in a world of white privilege here.
