As an average, educated, white woman of privilege - not part of the rich by any stretch of the imagination - the sad thing is it took me a long time to even recognize I was privileged. That saddens me more than I can say. Trump is/was a symptom, not the disease. While you've most likely been waiting for a wake-up call for a long time, I so hope this is it!

I hope and pray that Biden will be that leader we so desperately need right now. I'm under no illusions. It's going to be years. Change must come and it must come now. My eyes are open now and I hope I can be a part of that change. Thank you for your article. It was painful to read and I realize so very true!

I don't want to be a part of the moderate white society you describe. I can make all kinds of excuses but they don't float. Lead the way and I will follow. Tell me how and I will be there.
