I just finished reading a book by the author Helms called A Race is a Nice Thing to Have. It's about how white people need to learn to own their race and be proud of it without being racist. It makes this a realizable goal through the steps it offers:
1) making a decision to abandon racism
2) observing the ways in which racism is maintained in your environments
3) learning the difference between expression of racism and expression of white culture
4) discover what is positive about being white
I am working on number four, discovering what is positive about being white. What does it mean to be white? It means that I check off the Caucasian square on all forms. I guess I'll have to work on the answer to this question. Any ideas?
