What does a week of compiling racist incidents that went viral reveal? For one, the incidents show that racism, even in its most hateful forms, is ubiquitous, popping “progressive” bubbles and transcending national borders. Together, they clarify what continues to elude much of White America: ending racism is primarily a white person’s responsibility.

White Americans have the privilege to grow up without “The Talk,” but that doesn’t mean they should grow up without a talk. I’ve even readied some talking points for this urgent conversation.
