Yeah, I actually discussed this with my fiance last night and my basic refrain was "I want to understand, I really do, but I am white and male (and hetero and right-handed and American and middle-class), and I think that excludes me from understanding." At times, I feel it excludes me from the dialogue. I understand the need for a safe space, but I do think if any progress is going to be made, there has to be common space as well.
