[quote=Anonymous]I have not read all the previous responses, but the first time I really and truly saw it and recognized it as it was happening was when I was in my early 30s. I - white gal - went shopping with a black girlfriend in a nice area of town. We were both Mary Tyler Moore types - well-mannered, well-dressed, well-educated "single gals on the go" with excellent credit and money in the bank. My friend and I walked into a small shop where three white gals were shopping together. As soon as they saw us, they grabbed their purses and tried to move as far away from us as the space would allow. It was shocking and unmistakable and the first time anything like that had happened to me. Of course, over 20 years of friendship with that black friend (and others) I've gotten a much broader glimpse into the big and small ways that privilege (and discrimination) shows itself. [/quote]
