Unlearning My White Privilege & Ignorance — Part 1

<p>Hi, let me introduce myself, I&rsquo;m a cis-gendered, white, Gen X, woman. That&rsquo;s pretty much all anyone needed to know about me for my entire life.</p> <p>I was just like all of my fellow white people.</p> <p>Whenever my childhood sweetheart would point out that he was the only &lsquo;black person&rsquo; in the room, my reply would be like anyone else, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t even notice&rdquo;. When in fact I had, I always had, but I thought this reply would show him that I didn&rsquo;t care about his &ldquo;race&rdquo;.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ebogazebo78/my-journey-into-unlearning-my-white-privilege-ignorance-part-1-976d7fee7030"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
