with the two professors, "If there's no historical understanding of where this comes from" - white fragility - "then we're having a hamster on a wheel conversation," that then leads to battle fatigue and PTSD, imho. Most discussions do not include dehumanization and disappearing of wildlife were fined tuned before hitting the road with racism. How can the majority of white people ever relate to us on a visceral level when they're so far removed from their own past oppression(s)?

I have to admit though that I was surprised that the first anti-black laws in this country are rooted in sexuality.

Yeah, that technical difficulty at an important point in the conversation was weird!
