New rule: if someone is unwilling to be introspective and self-reflective and has no interest in making the effort to understand his or herself within and a part of a social context, a system of oppression, or a culture, I, for all extents and purpose, do not see you and will not acknowledge you to the same degree as someone who is willing to affect change within and about him or herself. Giving fodder to those who allow themselves to be supported by the privileges actively elevating them, while—by their very existence—subordinating, ostracizing, and oppressing others, is not something I’m interested in ever partaking in. If you can’t see you, I can’t see you.
