African American

Personally, I'm kind of on a mission to figure out how to use my white privilege to eliminate white privilege.
And one of the ways my privilege manifests is that other white folk are generally more apt to listen to what I have to say about the matter than they are of what anyone not white does, because when I say it, it doesn't put them on the defensive.

I really do think that that little observation holds an important part of the secret to solving this problem.

It's a lot easier to grasp and accept that your beliefs are rooted in and for the purpose of furthering racism than it is to grasp and accept that you yourself are racist, especially when in fact you are actually anti-racist, but you're also ignorant of some truths that are under-appreciated.
