It's clear that equality doesn't quite cut it. Asking for a sliver of disproportionate power is too polite a request. I don't want to be included. Instead, I want to question who created the standard in the first place.

White privilege is an absence of the consequences of racism. An absence of structural discrimination, an absence of your race being viewed as a problem first and foremost.

Every voice raised against racism chips away at its power. We can't afford to stay silent.

Demands for equality need to be as complicated as the inequalities they seek to address.
