WHITE PEOPLE: IF YOU HAVE EVER SAID ANY OF THESE THINGS THEN YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM
Posted By: Patrick Benjamin
“Just because I’m white doesn’t mean my life has been easy…”
Of course not. Everyone struggles. But being white has never been one of those struggles. Being poor is a struggle. Being handicapped is a struggle. Being a woman is a struggle. Being gay is a struggle. Being an immigrant is a struggle. But being white has never been a struggle. The same can’t be said for people of color. I could go on and on about white privilege, but it would be so much easier if you educated yourself instead.....
Stop trying to make it about you.

Strategies for Decentering Yourself in Conversations
Reflect before you react. To combat the urge to center yourself, pause and reflect internally when listening to a larger conversation. Do you have a unique perspective to add? If not, it may be more productive to listen and process what is being said.
Sit in discomfort. Learning about the experiences of people experiencing oppression may feel uncomfortable. When discomfort arises, allow yourself to experience it, and ask internally why you feel that way.
Avoid tone policing. The way in which a person experiencing oppression shares their story may also cause discomfort if you are in a place of privilege. When someone shares their lived experience with you, give them the space to tell their story authentically and avoid centering your feelings. 
Explore diverse content. Be thoughtful about the articles, books, podcasts, and other stories you consume. This is a passive and non-exploitative way to hear a range of perspectives from people of different backgrounds (e.g., race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, disability).
Pass the microphone. When raising awareness, find ways to highlight individuals directly affected by the issue who are already speaking out. This can elevate their platform and spread awareness. 
Do not force it. People who are marginalized do not owe their time or labor. Take cues from people in your space on whether they would like to take action or need your support when an issue arises. 
Give yourself grace. Learning to decenter yourself is an ongoing process, and mistakes will be made. “What supremacist culture would have us do if we can’t perfectly decenter ourselves at all times [is] give up,” Fisher said. “What real change-makers are able to do is say, ‘Hey, I missed an opportunity. I really centered myself in that conversation.’”
