This group of guys came up to me after my talk at Penn State last night. One hung back and said to me he is not racist but honestly didn’t recognize his privilege before my talk. Said he understood everything me and the Athletes were saying in my book and realized that he doesn’t have the same experience I have when stopped by the police and recognized that there are a lot of things that need to change in our society. He said some of his friends don’t get it but he understood.
I quoted Angela Davis and said, “It’s not enough to not be racist, you have to be anti-racism” He nodded his head like he understood and then caught back up with his friends.
