From the
altfriday5:
1. Do you consider yourself a member of any oppressed groups? Which ones?
Not any more.
2. Do you consider yourself a member of any privileged groups? Which ones?
Yah - perceived as white, Canadian, middle-class.
3. Have you ever personally witnessed or experienced oppression from the vantage point of the oppressed?
Yes.
4. Have you ever personally witnessed or experienced oppression from the vantage point of the privileged?
Pretty much daily since adulthood?
5. You have the chance to wave a magic wand and free one group, and one group only, from oppression (and don't say "I choose humanity -- that's one group!"). Which one do you choose, and why?
Here's where I demonstrate that I'm not nearly as enlightened as I'd like to me - those I consider *mine* - friends, family...mine - mostly because those are the people that are most important to me.
