I once had a conversation with a colleague-a smart, educated woman-venting about how she had never experienced privilege. Multiple examples of systemic racism followed. When I got to red-lining, she said, "well, IF that's true, it was wrong." I took Wilkerson off the bookshelf but she still doubted.

Is he, though? Are you sure?

Gee, you think?

Hi there - I was hardly ever at the one Other Place anyway.
