I've been having the heartbreaking conversation with so many Black people who are dreading tomorrow and the Zoom calls or the ”How are you?” -
Your Black leaders and employees are not OK.
It's triggering to ask ”How are you”

The #Emotionaltax Black employees are going through right now is through the roof.
Many I've spoken to are feeling rage, fear, anger, resignation, exhaustion, defeat and more.
Be uncomfortable, put #Blacklives BEFORE your feelings @RachelCargle
It's the HUMAN thing to do.

This is my neighborhood & many of us showed up tonight at #Barclays for the life & dignity of #GeorgeFloyd & solidarity w/ #BlackLiveMatter. Massive #NYPD presence & vastly peaceful crowd. 1/
We came home puzzled at what happened & I'm hearing ppl outside on the street making sense of it. #NYPD deployed mace & the air smelled of it. Someone burned a sign. Someone else set off a fireworks popper. But this was not character of the crowd gathered. 2/
The crowd I witnessed outside #Barclays looked like my neighborhood. Diverse, calm, helping each other, holding signs expressing anger at black lives needlessly taken. People handing out food. 3/
I didnt want to tweet about #GeorgeFloyd because the dehumanizing media articles that come out continously will not consider a real person any more.

Desensitizing oppression,
normalizing it,
negating the oppresseds emotions and outrage with false analogies,
asking the oppressed to be grateful for what they have,
negating of the reality of the problen,
and then responding with disproportionate force,
are tools of oppression

Educate yourself
History matters
Recognize how you are being mentally colonized and free yourself from the shackles of despondency by our comfort.
The inhuman, devilish way they treated #GeorgeFloyd stems from that ignorance, desensitization, and negating humane treatment.
