I am willing to concede that I experience all three of these. I guess it's a reflection of my determination to move through these that I am willing to be uncomfortable with these emotions as long as it takes. It took me decades to form my psyche and is probably going to take me awhile to identify those aspects of my racism that exist and be willing to explore their origins and manifestations on an on-going basis. So I think, in a way, that this is noble work and--without patting myself on the back--that I should be allowed to reframe my guilt and shame as the price I need to pay to advance and develop into a more commited ally to POC.
