@meredithshiner Yep. 100 percent. — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

@meredithshiner Maybe. I will say in my own circles - not the women in this story - where I have seen a lack of awareness about personal privilege a lot is parenting. People want to be anti-racist but when it comes to getting kids into "best" schools etc, they take priority over allyship. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexpisauro @mattiekahn @glamourmag I think whether you were hearing about that in college depends a lot on your college and age - I am 40 and went to Indiana University for undergrad. I'm not sure my classes - and I took a lot of history & pol sci - ever mentioned 'white privilege.' — PolitiTweet.org

“When I hold my little boy, I look at him and I think about his future & I think ‘I’m holding a white male.’ But I don’t want him to be the stereotypical white male, I desperately do not want that, I want him to be better, I want him to be kinder." https://t.co/FmAMB6GbrP — PolitiTweet.org

“Our parents raised us ‘you don’t see color, everybody is totally equal’ and that just paints over everyone’s experiences. Now we know better so we have to do better." https://t.co/aFIt1BoiNY via @glamourmag — PolitiTweet.org

Troha still struggles to talk about race in her “very white neighborhood,” where the topic can “shut down a conversation.” “If I mentioned the word race, it offends people, because if you talk about it, people think you’re saying they’re a racist.” https://t.co/aFIt1BoiNY — PolitiTweet.org

"“While I think we all sprung into action to ‘help’ with good intentions, it might have subconsciously been to speed up this portion where we feel uneasy, guilty, scared, uncertain to a more ‘peaceful, predictable, normal’ place.” https://t.co/aFIt1BoiNY via @glamourmag — PolitiTweet.org
