“White people” have been in power for centuries in North America. Change is hard. They won’t cede power easily. But this is an important “first step”- a shift in consciousness. A moment of, you guessed it, “cognitive dissonance” that will ultimately help to create a more egalitarian society. Its phenomenologically no different than Rosa Parks REFUSING to move. At first there’s a kerfuffle as folks adjust to new information (see commentary below) but then eventually there is acceptance.
