We are born who we are and there is no choice in that. This piece was not meant to ask for your shame. Being white is not something to be ashamed of. The shame lies in those who operate with whiteness and do not attempt to detract themselves from this construct and the illusion.

Thank you for listening and reading this. And also taking the time to respond! We keep moving into space where we all fit and whiteness has no place.
