The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heart sick.

The sugars are here, speaking straight into your ears.

I'm Steve Alman.

I'm Cheryl Strait.

This is Dear Sugar's.

Oh dear song, won't you please?

Yeah, some little sweet days with me.

I check my bell vibes every day.

Oh, and this sugar, using my way.

Hi Steve.

Hi Cheryl.

So we're going to do an episode today talking about privilege,

which I think is something that's always been important.

But I think a lot of people, if I'm speaking for a lot of the white people I know,

are waking up to the fact that essentially what's happened in our nation

requires us to have a deeper and more intentional sense of consciousness

about how we make real change in the world, not just lip service to diversity and inclusion,

but how we actually think about the ways that we have been ourselves complicit in racism,

with sexism, homophobia and transphobia and classism, and all of the ways in which power is invisible in the form of privilege.

Right, no, that's exactly it.

And the way that privilege operates is if you're living in the midst of it,

it can be invisible to you and usually is.
