This is what I'm learning pretty quickly, with my realizations as of late. I've actually come to learn what priveledge is, and I have a hell of a lot of it, to the point that I've been pretty damn blind to these issues for way too long.
I wouldn't say I was, or ever have been racist, but I'm understanding why people of colour say that people like me are part of the problem. I realize that my voice as a straight, white male has a lot more weight than a comparable black man's does in our society. It's time for people like me to make sure that everyone's voice is heard.
