“Not every white person is a racist, but the genius of racism is that you don’t have to participate to enjoy the spoils. If you’re white, you can be completely oblivious, passively accepting the status quo, and reap the rewards.”

—Mychal Denzel Smith, “White People Have to Give Up Racism” (via thenationmagazine)
