Just once. I would like to not be dealt a heart wrenching blow. Just once. The degrees of trauma that black people have endured these last few months is astronomical. And yet, we still rise. I’m constantly in awe of us.
I can’t believe we’re all in our 20’s with literally no stability in life and we are alive during a pandemic and a wave of racial protesting/injustice and an insane election and we’re supposed to plan our futures and know what we want to do
black ppl are now programmed to believe that any encounter w the police could result in death for them. that will trigger anybody’s fight or flight reflex. if you don’t have this same psychological association, or basic empathy, YOU WON’T UNDERSTAND why ppl may resist/fight/flee!
