More privilege = more power = more ability to silence. This sentence really impacted me. Being white, I need to do more listening and learning. I need to understand that being in uncomfortable conversations about racism is something I need to do. I also feel that more schools/companies need to mandate training such as this to their students/employees.
I wrote the same sentence down as one that stood out to me from the video. I also realized she was spot on when she talked about how many people are uncomfortable with conversations about race so they avoid them and sadly I fall into that category. I haven't had many opportunities where there have been conversations about race but I have never brought the topic up because I was uncomfortable with it and didn't know how to bring it up. I need to be okay with listening, learning, and participating in those conversations.
