		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve come across a lot of great links lately. I thought this might be a great opportunity to gather them all in one place and perhaps their synopsis (as opposed to the whole thing). A good first stop. Did you cringe or laugh? http://www.blackpeopleloveus.comOn anit-racist whiteness.

		<description><![CDATA[Love this&#8230; It&#8217;s general, perhaps overly so depending on where one lives. I&#8217;m sorry, I&#8217;ve misplaced the attribution for the moment. The following are examples of ways white individuals have privilege because they are white. Please read the list and place a check next to the privileges that apply to you or that you have [...]]]></description>

And I said, &#8220;do you think she&#8217;s a chocolate chaser?&#8221; and she responded, &#8220;yeah I think so.&#8221; So that got me to wondering about attraction. And reminded me of a conversation I [...]]]></description>
