Waking up. I'm realizing how racist I've been in the past, and (honestly) how racist I still am. Thinking of myself as "a good guy" made me blind to how complicit I am in racist systems. It's not enough to be nice. We need to dismantle the systems that keep other people down.

I wouldn't trade lives with anyone because it wouldn't be MY life and it would be a misappropriation of their life. Kind of like stealing womanhood through self-identifying as such.
