Majority categories is a great way to phrase it. We need to displace majority categories by labeling them with their own differences. Yeah, it's not a project to be completed anytime soon, but it's great to take small steps. Thank you again!sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817407388535938946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330039258193454269.post-73741829750402832962008-05-05T06:43:00.000-07:002008-05-05T06:43:00.000-07:00Excellent post, thank you for clarifying this issu...Excellent post, thank you for clarifying this issue. I think that woman is doing a brave, serious thing.<BR/><BR/>Yes, double consciousness is a phenomenon that works in terms of so many categories, where minorities are made visible and the majority remain more or less oblivious to their membership in that category--to that category AS a category.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me that when white people recognize Du Boisian double consciousness for black people, they recognize it as a problem for black people, as something unfair. And not as something that actually, they should have too. <BR/><BR/>What I think white people need, as well as people in other majority categories, is also a double consciousness, in the form of an awareness of the significance of their majority category to their lives. At least, until such categories no longer have such significance, which ain't gonna be any time soon.macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.com
