"If you've never had a defining moment in your childhood or your life where you realize your skin color alone makes other people hate you, you have white privilege."
Lori Lakin Hutcherson
As expected the first blooms of rain lilies at the condo opened this morning and Paul sent me these photos so I could enjoy them from afar.
I read an article this morning where Lori Lakin Hutcherson, a black woman, responded to her white friend asking for personal insight into white privilege and her experience with racism. I want to learn. The article can be found here.
"White privilege is being able to move into a "nice" neighborhood and be accepted...not harassed."
Lori Lakin Hutcherson
"If you've never had to mask the fruits of your success with a floppy-eared, stuffed bunny rabbit so you won't get harassed by the cops on the way home from your gainful employment (or never had a first date start this way), you have white privilege."
Lori Lakin Hutcherson
You may have to read the article to understand the context of that last one.
I would rather wear bunny ears than a mask.
