But color does matter. Color does matter in this undeclared cold war in America. It is still problematic to be a person of color, and so long as that is the case, then so too is it a problem to be white. We can exercise our privilege and walk away from being aware of our whiteness, but being white is still a problem. And we feel it.
White people feel it.
Whatever our denial, at some level we feel it. Not all of us deny our privilege. Not all of us walk away. I want to speak now of those white people who remain. Those white people who see color, and embrace it.
