Cant believe this is a real thing. Its pretty hilarious. But would like some real thoughts. Its really difficult for my white friends to talk about race. Just like its difficult for most men to talk about womens rights or straights to talk about gay rights. Honestly, the way to start the conversation if you in a position of power is to understand your position is one of power and how it affects your treatment. I would be insane if I didnt acknowledge its easier for me to respected in the work force because of my gender. My goal is to open dialogue and create a safe space for conversation. The Whiteness Project could be interpreted as a way for whites with noxious views on race to advance their hegemony on public discourse, but its not. All Dow is doing is putting a camera in front of white folks and asking them to elaborate on their opinions, relaying the perceived inability of white Americans to grapple with racial issues in a sincere and up-front manner. Provocative and unsettling, the Whiteness Project is straight from the horses mouth, which, for better or worse, is more telling than you might imagine.
