"I am not Trayvon Martin."
I found the above YouTube video to be a very interesting commentary on how more privileged groups (White, upper-middle class, male etc.) of people can respond and show solidarity regarding issues of racial injustice. There is often a lot of discomfort associated with how to respectfully stand up for and stand with minority groups as a member of a dominant group. I think that these are incredibly important conversations that need to be had in order to create a space for all people to stand against racial inequality.
