Double Consciousness is a term that comes from the pen of W. E. B. Du Bois which was made popular in his book The Souls of Black Folk. For Du Bois it meant “always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity” and of having two identities, one being American and the other being a person of color. “Two warring ideals in one dark body.” The title is also a pun on the fact that the two blog founders/editors are of different ethnicities which obviously effects the way they perceive the world. Jack Stephens is white (three-quarters Irish and one-quarter Guatemalan) and C is Pilipino. Despite this fact they are both unified in their thought on critiquing white privilege in American society and in combating its effects on people of color.

You know what I really like about you Blog, you have a diverse selection of information and view points that is informative and challenging. I am currently working on my experiences reading (Black Themed) Blogs and how they generally share and out bash singular Issues (mostly Hillary Clinton/Barak Obama) and forget that there is a whole World of positive and disturbing news that needs to be covered. You do that and I appreciate it.
As for this posting, I am thankful. I also believe that this particular lecture (which isn't new or unique coming from a (White) Intellectual but it is in line with that serious dialogue on Race which Obama detailed in his speech on Race in America.
Thanks for the imput and the kinjd words Shazza. Very much appreciated.
