A significant number of white people tend to think that they are being good people by not being bad people. They don’t recognize microaggressions for what they are. It is difficult to recognize that giving up privilege is not losing something. The message becomes “I’m okay with you being equal but I’m not giving up my right to be above equal.” It is time for white people to take responsibility for themselves and other white people. That is where we can have the most impact and would be reaching out to give people who have lost connection an opportunity to feel good about belonging.
