Healing My Struggles with Whiteness (As a White Guy)
<p>I also recognize wholeheartedly the struggle of all the non-white folks who have found themselves encircled by a dominant culture that punishes them for expressing who they are.</p>
<p>I <strong>am</strong> saying that growing up with that privilege has diminished my capability for empathy, healthy expression of emotions, and connection.</p>
<p>Growing up immersed in white supremacist culture (the subtle, liberal kind) skewed my perception of expressing emotions, biasing me towards a forced projection of calm and passive aggressiveness.</p>
<p>The same cultural DNA that creates micro-aggressions also inflicts cuts on my soul. These cuts in the moment are barely felt, but add up until I feel empty, soulless, and depressed.</p>
