BARRETO: Recognizing my privilege and fear of misspeaking
Around three years ago, the Black Lives Matter movement began. And for the most part, I’ve stayed silent. I watch the news every day and continuously see acts of institutional racism, and yet say nothing about them. Sure, I’ve shared and liked videos on Facebook that others post, but that is the extent of my action. Or, I guess I should say, inaction. I hear these discussions of white supremacy, but refrain from saying a word.
