I've always had this personal mantra, "if you have the ability, then you have the responsibility". This has proven itself over and over again... and even more so now. I have the ability to speak up, to push for change, to question the status quo, to point out to others when their white privilege is showing, to call myself out for exactly the same, to be the change...
This system, this world we live in, having been set up and run for centuries by people who look like me for people who look me, can only be undone by me and others who look like me. Complacency, comfort, and "not my problem" have gotten us where we are.
The state of this world is my problem. I do have the ability, and thus I have the responsibility to work to fix it.
