As whites, we are privileged. We have not even once had to be in fear of jogging down a road. Never once been in fear of going into a Starbucks and sitting.
We have never once been judged strictly by how much melanin is in our DNA.
All I am asking is to show grace. Don’t assume. Never assume.

So you never went into an area and felt concerned for your safety? Whether real or perceived, anyone who says they haven't are not being honest.
And yes,
all people have been judged by color at times. You, me, and everyone reading this. Not right or fair, but true.
Take your own advice.
