Race, privilege, resentment

There's a lot of really good stuff in the comments of this post (though I gritted my teeth through the actual post):

Which leads to a couple of essential essays:

EDIT: The first entry has been locked. I asked the poster to consider unlocking it; if she ever does I will come back to it, because I'd love to discuss it with you guys.

The gratefuladdict post has been made friends-only, I think. I can't read it. (I'm pretty sure it is one I read before, tho, my friend tamago was one of the responders? She linked to it last week on her LJ, if it was the same one... race and privilege have been coming up a lot on LJ these days, tho.)
