Since coming into this really progressive space, it’s been interesting looking at everything through the lens of identity and privilege. I’ve said it many times before that I know I’ve not been always successful with checking my dominant group privileges and it’s something I need to work on. That said.

The other day I met the third White Male in the past half year who really really understands his white and male privileges. It’s really interesting people like them, who more clearly understand on a deeper level the state of race and gender relations in the US, as well as its history. They get that racism is more deeply ingrained in our institutions than the mainstream would like to admit. They get their male privilege as well as how that intersects with race. They aren’t perfect, but they seem to be showing the effort to contribute to the dialogue without dominating the space or exerting their privileges.
Anyways, I really admire people like that who by most measures of identity, power and privilege, are at the “top”, yet visibly try to check their privileges and support progressive and poc issues.
