White Western Massachusetts update

A lot of people are linking to this Washington Post article on “Whiteness Studies” at various colleges, including the University of Massachusetts. Here’s an event listing (scroll down a little) in the local paper for a twelve-step program in Hadley, which is right next to UMass:

White People Addressing Racism: A 12-Step Approach: ongoing Sat: Using the 12-step model, this free, weekly group helps people with white skin privileges identify and let go of those false entitlements. 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m., Florence Savings Bank, Route 9, Hadley.

I can’t make this stuff up.
