But it’s also the case that empathy in no way requires privilege. As a former public defender, I met many poor white men who felt they’d routinely been mistreated by police. It was an opening to empathize with Black Americans some of them took, but it should have been much more. — PolitiTweet.org

I will freely concede that *most* human beings have difficulty empathizing with others. But the fact is, white men have the most room—at least here in America—to allow empathy to accompany their baseline privilege. And yes, that makes it more of an insult when they do not do so. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I find myself thinking in terms of an “empathy gap” rather than lack of empathy. Many humans have far less empathy than they should, but in certain situations we can exclude all the variables and see a major empathy gap based on *race*. In America this gap is *gaping*. — PolitiTweet.org
