I’m often struck by how often people react to my taking an active stand against racism by telling me I have a “chip on my shoulder”. (Those are the brave ones. Others sometimes say, “yeah, whatever”, or “well I didn’t mean to be racist”.) In some ways, it feels like standing against oppression can only lead to more oppression. In any event, I actually do not feel like I am out in the trenches daily, but I certainly refuse to lie in the mud and let myself be shot at. I add my voice to those of other people of colour, and by making it public, I hope it will be heard.
