that brought tears to my eyes. What a great way for most white people to visualize the head start they've been given in life, without even taking their first step. I say most white people, because some of us still won't get it after being shown, in black and white.
You can't get any more honest than that demonstration right there.

we also need to recognize what an advantage it is to have been born white in the US.

This is something my immediate family has talked about and acknowledged. We know we would not be where we are without a support system others have not had. Our acknowledgment engenders empathy, the bedrock of liberalism.
