To my fellow White folks who are celebrating Biden’s victory.
I am so happy and relieved that Trump is out and Biden will be our next President.
I have been studying conflict resolution for decades and I constantly seeking to identify what is the true source of any conflict I examine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump manipulated the racist system that pervades our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We Americans have spent so much energy on so many different ‘solutions’ to addressing structural racism that we have missed the most obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens in our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Amy Cooper called the police after a black man asked her to leash her dog in Central Park – her response wasn\u2019t purely logical or rational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her fear was subconscious and deep in her bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until we deal with racism at this level. We are just taking a break between what we just voted out of office and those that seek to immediately re-elect Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
White folks need to talk to other White folks and come to our own terms with this system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
