Yes. I feel so clueless about race issues sometimes, but there's value in simply saying, "No. I will not remain part of the problem, and I won't shut up, either."

It's practically all I/we can do, sometimes, though it doesn't feel like nearly enough.

*whines sarcastically* Being white is haaaaard. <---- SARCASM.

Seriously, though, when I think of the sheer numbers of ways in which being white has helped me, or just made me invisible, or made me more comfortable, or allowed me to remain silent when I should have something, I start to realize what a tough job we have ahead of us if we are going to change people's attitudes.
