Yucaipa and My White Privilege

White privilege is a part of the problem in America's racial divide. The naive or ignorant person out of touch with the reality of the every day fear and struggle for persons of color prolongs true equality. As a 60 year old white woman, Cheryl Hunter tells a tale of her own journey from ignorance to awareness and how she continues to dismantle her own ingrained stigma that centuries of colonialism and subjugation have left as a white legacy. Her southern California hometown of Yucaipa has been the center of racism on many occasions. And though it is still a place that the author cherishes, she feels a sense of obligation to speak out and start a conversation of truth. This book may start a firestorm for her, but she is ready to take that on.
