If you’re shutting out someone, especially a [racial] minority, who wants to talk about racial inequity, then you are no better than the people who have tried to silence so many people of color in the past. They knew that race mattered. They just didn’t want to hear about it. So they shut our brothers and sisters up in whatever way they could. You might want to believe that you treat people equally, thus people are equal, but the world does not exist truly when viewed through the rose-colored glasses of a hopeful optimist. You do yourself, society, and the marginalized Others a disservice when you refuse to acknowledge how race might be a factor. At the end of the day, it is a universal truth that as a white person, you will not view race like a person of color will. At the end of the day, you have not had to deal with the realities of racism like a person of color has or will have. At the end of the day, it is a mark of your white privilege to roll your eyes and brush off mentions of race as though they don’t matter when people of color claim they do. At the end of the day, you have the ability to ignore a perspective of the world through a racial lens, while people of color have to struggle not to.

The Magic Begins - day 4: your favourite ship

“The deluminator. It doesn’t just turn off lights. I don’t know how it works, but Christmas morning, I was sleeping in this little pub, keeping away from some Snatchers, and I heard it. A voice. Your voice, Hermione. You said my name. Just my name. Like a whisper. So I took it, clicked it and this tiny ball of light appeared. And I knew. It flew towards me, the ball of light, right through my chest and straight through me. Right here. And I knew it was going to take me where I needed to go.”

Harry Potter was my personal Big Bang.
