I think that is a start. I actually live in a neighborhood near Kirkwood and have had similar thoughts and experiences as the guy in this article. Guilt is sort of the word for it, but not quite. I think the simple fact of recognizing privilege when you have it, is a start. Being aware of history is the next step. The final step is not just wanting to help, but actually helping. I think a lot of people in this author's situation find that last step difficult. The truth is that if you look hard enough, you _will_ find people in the community that care and are trying to do things. They can point you in the direction you want to go.
