I’ve learned enough about privilege to know that we’re at our most dangerous when we think we’ve learned everything we need to know about it. That’s when you stop paying attention to injustice. And make no mistake, not paying attention because you’re not the one getting harassed or fired or pulled over or underpaid is the definition of privilege. Maybe looking away is about privilege. I need to think harder and longer about my choices and recognize that choosing whom I see and whom I don’t see is one of the most hurtful functions of privilege.
