You pointed out that one of the barriers to having productive conversations about race stem from our own issues in deconstructing privilege, etc. We all want to be "politically correct", but are very afraid of being corrected when something we say offends or is found to be based on stereotypes or assumptions. What if we were all brave enough to speak our truth, even through the fear? Elisa, what you said was actually very enlightening!
