12. So I just subscribed to this group....

After reading a "spirited" discussion on another thread about Wypipo, I subscribed to the AA group. The first post I read was this one, and it delivers.

As a White person, I found Harriot's commentary to be biting and very welcome. Yes, this is exactly what I see from this side of the racial divide and the more people who call out this arrogant, entitled, privileged behavior, the better. I don't take the criticism personally, unless I'm guilty of any of the behaviors being criticized. At which point I learn something new and stop whatever I'm doing that's Wypipo-ish.

On the other hand, I do take the criticism of my White People group personally, and recognize it's entirely deserved. Whether I like it or not, I belong to this group and with the privilege comes culpability. Keep the barbs coming.
