Privilege is having the victims of prejudice do the work to “educate” powerful abusers, on the charitable and naive assumption that they are merely mistaken.

With the passage of time I, for one, learned far more about the people I had thought were merely mistaken. I look on all those attempts at outreach (still a good place to start) as well meant but misinformed on our own part, because we failed to grasp the full depth of where the
