Do white liberals understand the white privilege they receive daily?

75. Some do some don't. I think a more interesting question is

What should we do about it?

I'm sure I have my own subconscious biases but I certainly understand I face fewer obstacles and misperceptions about me than those of minority races. I get other sets of course based on other things, but I get to skip the race-based ones.

Now what can I do with that awareness that will help anything? I can, heck occasionally do, point out the issue to those who seem to deny institutional racism. Can't recall seeing any epiphanies from the attempts but I may just suck at explaining it. However I'm generally decent at other similarly abstract explanations so not sure that's likely. What other options are available to me than the occasional conversation? I cannot see any great opportunity to do anything to end or reduce white privilege no matter how much I remind myself of it. To be honest I rarely do. I rarely need to. It's one of those things to me that you grasp once and then keep. I frankly have no clue what "checking my privilege" means or what it would achieve if I did it more often. I cannot become black/brown. I cannot make black/brown folks white or extend my white privilege to them. All I can do is treat people well and extend them the same courtesies and trust regardless of color.

So however imperfect I am, no doubt greatly; however imperfect the most ardent partisan for this cause thinks I am, no doubt even more greatly, the question remains. What should I actually DO?
