Review of Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea

A man once said that being Black in America is like wearing a tight fitting shoe. You feel it all the time. This was in the intro to Studs Terkel's "Race. The American Obsession". Like this film, it was an exploration of what it means to be Black in the US, an anthology of walking a mile in another's shoes. Chelsea has heartfelt conversations with academics and victims of institutional racism which have emotional resonance. Chelsea did a fantastic job of introducing her audience to Tim Wise, whose work is essential to understanding how it all breaks down. The explanation of white privilege seems like an introduction to the topic. I'm hoping someone puts her in touch with Robin DiAngelo, author of "White Fragility", to further probe the white American reticence to acknowledge the depth of real structural racism. This doc doesn't get that deep, but it is still a worthwhile watch.
