Unfortunately, I identified all too closely with the white people in the video who discussed their discomfort in talking about race issues. I always hesitate to discuss these issues with people of color because I always feel vastly out of my element and do not want to make it seem like I am an expert or that my opinions are superior in any way. This article by Courtney Martin puts it very well: If you are going to speak out, "give credit to the Black thinkers who are influencing you." The majority of this work has not been done by white people, so we need to amplify voices of color whenever possible and give credit where credit is due.
