As racism and hate-crimes have proliferated and reversed so much progress in the last few years, I despise that the haters are overwhelmingly the same race and gender as me — white males. This is especially pronounced here in the south. Those who are harmed are rightfully fighting their treatment and seeking a better future, but those of us who have always enjoyed white privilege, not to mention male privilege, perhaps have a greater power to change our demographic to be more humane and rational. I have searched and failed to find the right opportunity or organization targeting the real cause of the problem — my own demographic. Help?
