@jennifer.lauren.rose: Privilege is the ability to not pay attention to violence, oppression, and suffering because it isn’t touching your body, your people, your life. Privilege is your capacity to choose to stay silent, to play the middleman, to argue theory and ideological stances when real people are dying. When families are being separated and put into detention centers. My litmus test for being a decent human being is simple: Can you care about other people even when what’s happening doesn’t impact you directly? You don’t need to be perfect. You do need to be awake and willing to do your part. Apathy is not neutrality. Nor is your silence. Disconnection is a choice.
