[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this. Can you (or someone) address the question of reliving the trauma daily as an aspect of culture in contrast to others who witnessed similar hatred (not slavery, but see the earlier Japanese poster with living examples of similar legalized discrimination) but who don’t seem to wear it as a badge? Their experience is still very real - see Georgia yesterday. [/quote]. [/quote]

Pardon me, but a U. S. Congressman stated out loud what many others are thinking, that the attempted coup on Jan 6th would have been concerning if it was a civil rights protest (aka Black Lives Matter). Meanwhile State Legislators are currently working to make it more difficult for people to vote. The votes of US citizens in “certain” geographies with large black populations were actively under attack by government officials including the President, and you want to have a  philosophical discussion, then end to which you have predetermined by likening the culture / trauma of  being black in America to wearing a badge.  There is an entire governmental infrastructure actively working against a group of people...today, and you want to talk about reliving trauma, and not acknowledge living trauma! Welcome to America.

But at what point do those same Congressmembers recognize the political motivations of organize BLM riots that destroyed cities last summer? I agree that the Capitol riot was nonsensical. I also think the lack of ownership of who was financing and/or implicitly condoning BLM is a bit rich. [/quote]

Wait.  Stop.  The January 6th insurrection was an attempted coup.  There is zero equivalence.[/quote]
