I'm also aware that I continue to benefit from structures of racism. To be honest, I still feel like I haven't risked enough. But fear and self-preservation step in.

One thing that stands out to me is the American ideal of "rugged individualism" or "meritocracy" that I hear from my family....if they only "worked harder" types of comments, which infuriate me. No one would ever dismiss that Bill Gates or Warren Buffet's children have privilege or an advantage over the majority of the general public given the resources and opportunities they start life with. The same concept applies to white people and BIPOC within our society.
