brave and incredible White Americans.

Thirty-nine percent is huge. And I'm grateful for that.

White Americans who don't subscribe to White's Only Privilege and who care about all Americans should be given as much credit as any civil rights advocate of color because of their bravery, intelligent insight, compassionate hearts, and unrelenting support - even at the threat of their lives (see below). They should be admired for their staunch support to change a system that they, personally, really didn't need to change since the color of their skin afforded them advantages PoC weren't afforded. But they did, and that's why we should never forget their part in our continued struggle for equality for all.
