When I was a kid, I was unaware of the privilege that I had by being white. It has definitely impacted how I walk in the world in that I have not had or realized the need to be concerned about certain things. As the parent of a white child, I have not had to have the discussion about how you handle your self around police or other authority figures. It is much more apparent now what areas bias has existed in my life and how necessary it is to work to change that perspective.
