Honest responses, please: If you are a white person reading this—do you think about being white? #Mastodon #BlackMastodon
@popcornreel Yes. I can't say I always did, but we talk a lot about privilege in our family nowadays. Was really struck when doing some geocaching in Philadelphia and thinking about how neighbors would respond to a black family digging through the same flowerboxes. Have gotten a warning from a cop for rolling a stop, and felt a pang -- have thought about how to be an ally if I see Police Incidents. There are stretches where it recedes though, for sure.
