The reason beverage commercials show happy families with their drinks is the same reason Santa Claus wears red. Association and conditioning!

Is there intergenerational trauma that has been passed on from the AIDS epidemic and movement? Would this be something passed through families or communities? #NURelSex #UnitedInAnger

The Ashes Action was so powerful; I got chills. They didn’t give Bush any choice but to see the ashes on the Lawn. And I’m sure it provided release and closure for people who lost loved ones #UnitedInAnger #NURelSex

@isa_rmzg Unfortunately it reminds me of the Holocaust too. It was all about destroying Jews who were victims of a system in which they had no power. Minority groups are used to attempts to eradicate them in masses. It’s not okay #NURelSex #UnitedInAnger

“We’re not gonna stay silent because silence = death” (1:08:43) reminds me a lot of how tolerance ≠ acceptance. Silence (or tolerance) can equal death #UnitedInAnger #NURelSex

“Your policies, not your religion, your policies and your money, okay, are killing people.” (41:52)
So powerful. People try to hide behind their religion when avoiding saving someone when really it’s their personal values that make them terrible people #UnitedInAnger #NURelSex

I was impressed when they connected the AIDS epidemic to the Church’s hypocrisy about accepting others and fundraising to help those in need. We’ve talked in this class about religious hypocrisies before and how damaging they can be #NURelSex #UnitedInAnger
The church be like:

@gwonkoehne I agree it reminds me a lot of other minority group protests like Black Lives Matter. Protesters are angry and fighting for their lives like they have nothing to lose because they’re going to die anyway (which for many at the time was true sadly) #UnitedInAnger #NURelSex

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex The punch in the gut when they said people wanted AIDS victims to get tattooed. Tattoos were used in the Holocaust to treat Jews like products, like things that could be minimized to serial numbers. That trauma should never be imposed on another group
