As mentioned in class, here is a short article by Peggy McIntosh on recognizing white privilege.

It also opens the possibility of moving from discomfort or guilt toward more productive coalitions, alliance, and collaboration.
And a short clip from the popular show Modern Family that obliquely illustrates the importance of allies: http://www.trailercodes.com/tv/modern-family–chirp/blinded-by-the-spotlight
