white privilege

What I can do is try to reach other white women who have yet to consider how their whiteness has led to significant inequities in our society.

Being cognitively aware on a surface level that your friends and coworkers experience rampant prejudice is different from having it directed at you.

Those of us with platforms that reach people, like My Favorite Murder, do have a responsibility to use those platforms wisely and with caution.

Can we all agree that whether in public or private spaces, don’t put your feet in other people’s spaces and keep your shoes off the furniture?

White people, it would seem, are seriously out-of-touch with the racial reality in America. But why?

I have my own army who fights against injustice. I have a mother who handed out fliers boycotting grapes during Cesar Chavez’s unionizing efforts. I have an aunt and uncle who told me never to question the importance of affirmative action.

These conversations are uncomfortable as hell. They can be downright depressing and demoralizing. They may lose you friends and family members. But, sometimes they lead to change, even if it’s small. And being uncomfortable is a small price to pay to help combat bigotry.

Your opinion is not only incorrect, it’s probably also capital-W “Wrong” as in, Right vs. Wrong. We have a cultural problem with opinions. It’s not that everyone has one; it’s that everyone believes theirs is as valid as the next, simply because they have one.
