Race Matters: A Story About White Privilege

How can we better understand white privilege and use this knowledge to make the world better for everyone?
To this day, so many conversations about [white] privilege are rendered futile because of an inability to accept that our society systematically uplifts some individuals while marginalizing others.
Too often, there is a stubborn refusal to accept the many subtle ways we are socialized differently depending on our race.
This comic is a perfect illustration of these subtleties and a great starting point for conversation.
We need to continue moving forward, but first, we have to get better at recognizing all of the ways that society holds some of us back.
