How to Stop a Racist in One Simple Step

In my workshops, I'm often asked why do I focus on race and racism?

Why do I focus on privilege?

And why don't I focus more on other issues of equity, like LGBTQ?

And my answer to all of these is because it's easy for us to look at other stuff. But it's not always so easy to address our nation's original sin. And it's not so easy for us sometimes, to look deep down within ourselves at the bottom of the iceberg, as I call it, and understand the ways that we as individuals have the ability or the tendency to continue to support systems of oppression, to support racism, as it appears in systems, particularly when we benefit from it.
