[Maine-birds] Re: Not often on birder's radars: white privilege

Thanks for posting this. It never occurred to me, although I could produce another video - The Rules for a Black Attending a White Wedding as a Guest. My daughter's ex-boyfriend taught us about those rules. Quite a wakeup call for my family. Lot's of your the help moments. Lots.

Birding friends - I am sharing this in the spirit of an informational and non-political perspective on our shared passion; I hope that's OK within the listserv community. I don't need replies unless you wish to, and I'm happy to receive those off-list. From where I sit it seems like the community of birders in the world is not yet representative of who lives in our towns and our region. 

This is a 2-minute video called "Birding While Black." It showed me yet another way that I don't have to be reminded of my race: when I step out of the house wearing a hoodie and carrying binoculars. For me it was important food for thought and action.

Best,
