Social Activism Tastes Better When the Waiter is White

As I'm finishing my final paper for this incredible course, I have been pondering this article I found a few weeks ago, as it coincides with some of the conflict I discuss in my paper.

If you all are not familiar with Olivia Cole's writing, she writes a lot on white privilege and racial justice in this country. The link above is a social critique on Olivia's role as a sort of "white knight" for the cause of social justice and racial justice. It's pretty much like the epiphany I had in class, if ya'll remember, when I realized I was being super oppressive and counter productive to the cause as in my SGA role, I often times spoke for Black Student Alliance and for black students. It draws connections with the BlackGirlDangerous blog post about "Being an Ally"..

Give it a read, it's so to the point and truthful. Thoughts?
