That's the way a lot of straight white guys think of the world — they think that it requires an active hatred on your part to be prejudiced, bigoted or to be a participant in white supremacy. The notion is that if you're not actively doing something to oppress somebody, then you're not part of the problem. As opposed to quietly enjoying all of the privilege that's been bestowed on you by generations of this dominance. That was the fundamental failure of my perception. It's been a process of enlightenment for me to realize and accept that my very status as a white guy in America is the product of institutional prejudices, that I've enjoyed the benefits of them, passively and actively. And I'm responsible for accepting my role in the patriarchy, and in white supremacy, and in the subjugation and abuse of minorities of all kinds. -steve albini
