“ Every voice raised against racism chips away at its power. We can't afford to stay silent. ”
It's clear that equality doesn't quite cut it. Asking for a sliver of disproportionate power is too polite a request. I don't want to be included. Instead, I want to question who created the standard in the first place.
~ Reni Eddo-Lodge
White privilege is an absence of the consequences of racism. An absence of structural discrimination, an absence of your race being viewed as a problem first and foremost.
Demands for equality need to be as complicated as the inequalities they seek to address.
