I think that I have to be in such constant check of my white exceptionalism- my feeling that I'm one of the "good ones." My parents raised me to be very "woke" even though we lived in a pretty racist community. It is easy for me to see myself as in the right- especially as much of the people I am still friends with online seem to be so ill-informed on the issues. It takes a lot for me to keep turning inwards and I'm working towards really examining myself in this way instead of looking to change others.
