In the most recent stories of racial injustice, Amy Cooper’s threats against Christian Cooper (no relation) and the unjustifiable death of George Floyd, I had to reckon with the reality that my white privilege implies that this is not my problem. This IS my problem, and until I address the racism I have ingested my entire life, I will be doomed to sit on the sidelines and wish things were fair. This is an inside job, and every day I work to unlearn the racism that permeates our lives in America.
