Just for you, Laura Belgrave, this blog is set up with a white background and black text.  There will be no more complaints about my preference — a real preference, by the way — for black backgrounds. On this blog — just for you (and for anyone who shares your preference) — it’s glaringly WHITE!!

‘I ask that Smith College stop reducing my personhood to a racial category. Stop telling me what I must think and feel about myself,’ she said.

‘Stop presuming to know who I am or what my culture is based upon my skin color. Stop asking me to project stereotypes and assumptions onto others based on their skin color.

‘Stop demanding that I admit to white privilege, and work on my so-called implicit bias as a condition of my continued employment.’

–Jodi Shaw

So say we all.
