I think so much needs to be done in the field of white people admitting and accepting their white privilege and how it affects them and others.

I'm not saying "oh poor white people, life is so hard" but if I am the agent provocateur who can confront people or help them work through it, than so be it.
Cool.

Yeah being aware is not to confused with white people feeling a need to be apologetic or anything of that sort. It's simply the case that constructs and modes of social interaction don't disappear just because people choose to ignore them when it is convenient for them.
