I loved the video with Luvvie Ajayi and how she talked about being the domino. I think that is such an important concept and points out how what I do can impact someone else. If I hear someone making racist comments or jokes, pointing it out to them and discussing why it is not okay may cause them to change or realize how what they said can be preceived by someone else. Talking about race is not always super easy for me, but over the past few years I have seen how it has been a little easier for me to talk about it. I think the only way to be more comfortable is to acknowledge that discomfort. I found the video by Tom Rietz also very helpful, and I think it is important to point out that "Tim" was probably so willing to talk with Tom because they were similiar and Tim probably would not have started a conversation with Tom if they were not similiar. I think that that is how white people can confront racism, which is an important way to use our privilege.
