On posh white blokes in NGOs

This post is a reaction to another piece in which a development practitioner from a white background reflected on the limited level of understanding colleagues like him could have of realities they haven't experienced. Amongst other reflections, Bola points out that 'when marginalised voices wish to speak they have to fight for their space. And when they get that space, they're ignored... [although] the “white male” complex exists... [there is] less of an acknowledgement about who is speaking and who still is silent. This is where the concern still lies.'
