*nods* I get you... even if the session had a second presenter that was POC it probably wouldn't have stuck with me so much. But no one addressed the obvious, that a.) Yes, white woman you are addressing your privilege, b.) it's lovely that you are asking other white people to do so, but c.) the conversations that need to be had about this topic aren't going to happen in a mixed crowd, at a professional conference because well, people are to afraid of wagging their bare ass in the wind and being branded a racist or insensitive.

There's also d.) there's just some things POC won't discuss with non-POC in the room and the issue of systemic racism is probably one of those topics.

I'm debating on proposing a session on Systemic Racism in Higher Ed from a POC perspective for my regional conference, and I've got till Friday to submit a proposal.
