As with infectious disease, while you may never personally show symptoms or be impacted negatively, you can still spread the pathogen. In other words: ◾If you’re not racist but you’re a racist apologist, you’re part of the problem. ◾If you’re not racist but you’re racist tolerant, you’re part of the problem. ◾If all of your social interactions occur within the bubble of invisible privilege, and you genuinely believe your advantages are purely the result of meritocracy, you’re not a racist… You’re a carrier. If you exist inside a system that benefits you to the detriment of others, and do nothing to challenge the status quo, you’re enforcing it. The antibody for racism is compassion. - Jackie Summers
