I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to be a Black person in this country.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to have others see me as suspicious or dangerous simply because of the color of my skin. I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to wonder if I will experience discrimination or even overt hatred or violence everywhere I go, simply because of who I am.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to have \u201cthe talk\u201d with my son\u2014the one where I have to try to tell him exactly how to stay alive if he is ever confronted by the police.<\/p>\n

The fact that I don\u2019t know these things is a mark of privilege. As a White person in a racist society, I really don\u2019t have to think about such things if I choose not to. This week alone, we have witnessed the killing of two Black men in two days, and a violent ambush that took the lives of five police officers in the midst of a peaceful protest. If I want to, I can choose simply to ignore the newscasts, occupy myself with the details of my own life, and remain blissfully unaware of what is happening in faraway places like Louisiana and Minnesota and Texas. White privilege is what allows me to make this choice.<\/p>\n

Two Main Mistakes That Well-Meaning White People Make<\/h2>\n

It seems to me that when horrific things like this happen, there are two main mistakes that well-meaning White people make. The first is not acknowledging our privilege\u2014a privilege we are granted at birth, which we didn\u2019t earn and which we can\u2019t refuse, even if we are inclined to. White privilege allows us to labor under the illusion that human experience is monolithic, that somehow because we have grown up in the same country, we all have had the same chances and have borne the same consequences for our choices. It allows us to think that, ultimately, we\u2019re all \u201cthe same,\u201d without acknowledging that the color of one\u2019s skin actually makes a huge difference in how a person experiences the world and how that person is treated.<\/p>\n

Even among White people who are committed to fighting against racism, there is a temptation\u2014in the wake of the kind of violence we\u2019ve seen this week\u2014to assume that the grief and rage and pain we feel is \u201cthe same\u201d as what people of color are feeling. We assume that our outrage over the slaying of police officers is exactly the same as the outrage communities of color feel about the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. But it\u2019s not. It\u2019s not the same because the society we live in overwhelmingly condemns the former but not the latter. It\u2019s not the same because most of us have confidence that those responsible for killing the Dallas police officers will be brought to justice swiftly.<\/p>\n

The families and friends of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile probably don\u2019t share that confidence because they\u2019ve seen this before. They\u2019ve seen that in this country, it\u2019s possible for a grand jury to watch a video of a police officer choking an unarmed man to death, and still find that no one is criminally responsible. (Read more.<\/a>) To be clear: I am not saying that the lives of the Dallas police officers are any less precious than the lives of Alton Sterling or Philando Castile or Eric Garner or any other victim of violence. I am simply saying that in this country, the color of a person\u2019s skin still seems to influence how seriously that person\u2019s death is taken, and the lengths to which we will go to see justice done.<\/p>\n

Differences Matter<\/h2>\n

Differences matter. To deny this truth is to refuse to see what is right in front of us: that, despite our rhetoric to the contrary, all people in our society are not treated equally. But if we\u2019re not careful, we can make the opposite mistake as well; we can become convinced that the differences between us are so great that we can no longer imagine what it might be like to stand in another person\u2019s shoes. We become convinced that \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem\u201d are two completely separate groups that have nothing to do with one another, that we share nothing that could help us to understand what the other is going through.<\/p>\n

This is what threatens to happen now, in the aftermath of the Dallas shootings. We\u2019re being asked whether we stand with \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d or \u201cBlue Lives Matter,\u201d as if the two were mutually exclusive. Yet, if we go to this other extreme, we lose the ability to have compassion for one another\u2014literally, to \u201cfeel with\u201d others in their suffering. We become desensitized to the violence and marginalization experienced by people of color because we come to believe that the world they inhabit has nothing to do with our own.<\/p>\n

But that is a lie. As a spouse, I can <\/em>imagine how traumatic it would be to watch my partner die right before my eyes. As a mother, I can<\/em> imagine my heart being ripped in two by my son\u2019s anguished cries for his slain father. If I let them, these resonances can inspire me to take action to try to make sure they never happen again to any other spouse, to any other mother or child. Yet, allowing myself to be touched deeply by experiences I will likely never have requires a kind of courage and a willingness to endure discomfort that, if I\u2019m honest, I\u2019m not always sure I have.<\/p>\n

Ways to End White Privilege<\/h2>\n

Even so, I\u2019ve decided that saying nothing is no longer a viable option for me. So, here is my suggestion for other well-meaning White people: When you are talking with people of color, listen. Listen to what they have to say about their own lives. Learn about things you never could have known before, because you have never had the firsthand experience of being Black. When you are talking to other White people, speak up and speak out. Name your own privilege and challenge racism wherever you see it. Use whatever position or platform you have to educate yourself and others about the realities of racism in our country. (If you\u2019re looking for resources to help you do this, the \u201cCharleston syllabus<\/a>\u201d project is a great place to start. A fair warning: doing this may make people you love uncomfortable; you may lose some Facebook friends over it. But I am becoming more and more convinced that the way forward lies not in violence or endless cycles of retaliation, but in more love, more truthfulness, and more willingness to let go of my own privilege for the sake of justice and peace<\/strong>. May it be so.<\/p>\n
