“Privilege, in the social justice context, is an advantage or a set of advantages that you have that others do not.”

“Note: ‘people like you’ is a good warning that a conversation is about to head into pretty racist territory.”

“I hope that if parts of this book make you uncomfortable, you can sit with that discomfort for awhile to see if it has anything else to offer you.”

“Tying racism to its systemic causes and effects will help others see the important difference between systemic racism, and anti-white bigotry.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

“It is important when talking about police brutality to stand secure in your experience, without trying to override the experiences of other communities with police. What has happened to you is valid and true, but it is not what has happened to everyone. The experience of white communities with police are real, and the experience of communities of color with police are real—but they are far from the same. And while it is important to recognize these different viewpoints, we must remember this: If you do trust and value your police force, and you also believe in justice and equality for people of color, you will not see the lack of trust on behalf of communities of color as simply a difference of opinion. You will instead expect your police force to earn the respect and trust of communities of color by providing them with the same level of service that you enjoy. People of color are not asking white people to believe their experiences so that they will fear the police as much as people of color do. They are asking because they want white people to join them in demanding their right to be able to trust the police like white people do.”
