In what ways does my proximity to whiteness afford me the privileges that aren't extended to Black and Brown people?
In what ways have I been conditioned to believe in the superiority of my whiteness?
In what ways have I engaged in rhetoric that promotes othering or stereotyping of Black people?
What can I do to better educate myself on the historical context of race in the country and community I exist in?
