Do you feel guilty for being white?

I don’t.

But I have learned things in the last two weeks that make me ashamed for not being more aware.

I didn’t create this environment. But I have unwittingly contributed to it, primarily by my acceptance of the status quo.

There is no need for me to flog myself. I was blind and now I see.

But I will do everything in my power to help fix this.

Are you with me?

@ThePerfectUsername then don’t. It’s a worthless emotion.

Make things better however you can.

@JoeyFoxx I already do.

@JoeyFoxx You asked it I was with you. I said Yes. Meaning that I don't feel guilty either. I do however accept that it's up to us to do things differently and that's what my "I already do" referred to.

@ThePerfectUsername oh. :)

I asked two questions... I should have been more specific.

@JoeyFoxx Short attention span... I'd forgotten the first question by the time I got to the second. 😁
