Response #1- Be honest. Examine through prayer and/or meditation how you might benefit, contribute to, or ignore injustice in the world. (Here's a hint: will all do). Also, consider how you have been privileged based on unmerited qualities? Write your thoughts down on a list. It will be tempting--but stay focused on you and not others. This list will helps us to stay humble and not make boogie men/women out of folks in the future. This can be a pretty painful exercise but before you get bogged down in shame (although, action-oriented guilt is ok), remember that this is only a starting point.
