(I can't get the words to work, you guys. This is why I haven't been posting. But this is important.)

I found out about the discussions collectively known as RaceFail '09 through metafandom. As a result, I've been educating myself on white privilege and racism. I needed (and need) it. This particular post is not about me, though

(psst! it's sparkymonster, not sparklymonster. no L.)

there's also the archivist of the revolution's linkspams.

eta: apologies. i've read so many posts that i forget who links to what.

Thank you! I have corrected my mistake.

No problem. I know the feeling.

tablesaw links to rydra_wong fairly early on in her post, so I didn't post a separate link.

(Thank you for the other link! I hadn't seen that yet. Lots of stuff for me to read there.)

wait, which link? now i'm confused. :) i've been spending hours every day reading link after link for about a week now. my brain may have short-circuited. i saw tablesaw link to rydra_wong, but he links to particular posts, and i thought the linkspam tag might be helpful too, as she's been making two or three posts of links a day for some time now. it just, makes me so ill. i went back to check when it was that i first posted about this and it was february 3rd. that wasn't even at the very beginning and it's still unfolding and iterating.

but you're right, it's not about me, so i'll be shutting up.

(shallow p.s. - i don't think i've mentioned before that i like this layout. it's very pretty.)

Okay, I see what you mean. You're right. I've added both links you gave me to the original post. They're both helpful. The one I hadn't seen before is the "for clueless white people" del.ici.ous one.

(Thank you. I am not entirely happy with it - there is not enough space allotted for actual text, for one thing - but I like it too.)

Oh, you are so full of win!

MWAH.
