Growing Up White In America

Bem P. Allen

The author describes coming to grips with race in America as he encountered Mississippi whenever he entered his parents home and as he grew to maturity in rural Texas, Houston, and rural Illinois. Among the questions considered are the following: Has racial prejudice significantly diminished in the USA or has it just gone undercover? Are most white people racially biased in some measurable ways? Has life in American become perceptibly better for African Americans since the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s? Are American colleges and universities islands of racial egalitarianism or just another haven for racism? Are there inherited racial differences in IQ? What does "white privilege" mean? How have the rights of women fared over time? Because of slavery and a history of repression in the USA, should African Americans be granted reparations?
