Simultaneous manifestation of Willful Ignorance x Apathy X Fear of responsibility. Let me tell you, on Friday, I had a discussion with a younger co-worker (23, Im 27 for reference.) This person has admitted his parents are openly racist and he claims happiness that their behaviors did not rub off on him because of his black friend. This same person, however, refuses to admit responsibility for undoing the privileges and advantages granted to him by systemic racism. His reasoning? Because he isn't the one that did it. Despite admitting this construct actively benefits him and he lives in it, it is not his responsibility to facilitate dismantling it. In all my experiences with white people in peer group this attitude is one of the most common. This is supposed to be the forward thinking progressive milllenial collegiate educated american human citizen. Complaints and a bunch of "wow that's fucked up," but a lot more "oh well, not my problem did you see Game of Thrones?" This is literally not possible until, somehow, minority groups outnumber white people and then impose the same systematic oppression. That'd be hustling backwards. If anyone has been paying attention, that's not what any of us involved in this movement are even trying to accomplish. But a flipside to that is when black people get together and do something positive like Black Girls Rock, you see white people offended that something doesn't include them. Those same people are apparently incapable of making the connection "wait...what if this is how all of these people have felt for hundreds of years and we've been ignoring it the whole time." Unfortunately, I think this education has to come from avenues that have real impact upon their current worldview, and that is not happening nearly enough.
