You are probably right but that just makes it more important that we all do it, whether a victim or a witness and especially if we are privileged. Privilege is power and while its existence is bad just as the ways in which it is so often used, I believe we can use it for good as well.

This is absolutely true. It's almost always easier (and certainly less emotionally taxing) to just walk away entirely--especially when [the perception is that] the community will be either passive or against you after you act.
