My 12 year old daughter is baking cookies in the kitchen. Her sisters will soon come home from work and theyll probably spend the rest of the evening eating cookies and laughing over silly Youtube videos. None of them will give a second thought about whether they should be on the streets in our neighbourhood, whether or not they should wear hoodies over their heads, or whether they can trust the police to protect them. This is the privilege that they take for granted based on their race, class, neighbourhood, etc.. Mothers of black sons in the US and First Nations daughters in Canada do not enjoy the same privilege of assuming their children will all make it home safe tonight. If I ignore this fact and simply take my privilege for granted, I do them a disservice. #prayingforferguson #prayingforusall #ferguson #mmiw
