Racial inequality
    benefits whites
at the expense of
    people of of color.

Isn't that great?

    We don't have to worry
        that our race will be held against us.

    We can move about freely
        in those spaces considered "normal" or "neutral."

    Our race is held up as "the norm."

    We can trust the police
        will assume the best about us
    in encounters we may have with them.

    When surrounded by other whites
        (in safe, insulated spaces),
    we can pretend "the race problem"
        is "their problem,"
    and therefore not own the responsibility
        to change it.

Isn't that great?
    Many whites think it is.
People of faith know it's not.

Racial inequality
    benefits whites
at the expense of
    people of of color.
