@Anti_Intellect I was just thinking this morning how much secondary trauma we face on a daily basis with these constant murders of us

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect yes and the constant abstract “murders” of us by us are ones that matter most-like asking “who are you?”

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect like asking “what are you talking about?” without even trying to make one non-violent guess...

@KinteSpace @Anti_Intellect I'm not understanding your tweets, how is asking questions connected to us being murdered daily by police?

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect according to my Twitter app, the thread started with “Black Twitter” in general not recent evil cop events...

@sohumstudios @KinteSpace Yeah. I'm not really connecting the two things either.

@KinteSpace @Anti_Intellect I'm not talking about Black Twitter Im talking about the emotional trauma Black people live w/in this country

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect I'm from LAPD gang territory... been with evil cops since the 1970s...

@KinteSpace @Anti_Intellect I dont even know the family or victims & I'm deeply affected so imagine how their families & communities feel

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect folks like Dr. Amos Wilson and many others dedicate their lives to dealing with the mental trauma...

@KinteSpace @Anti_Intellect how many of us have access to the words and works of Dr. Amos Wilson?

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect for me, personally, it was my mother's deep,deep sense of self and my father's "race" pride that helped me...

@KinteSpace @Anti_Intellect that's beautiful.

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect what drives many bright people of color insane is looking for justice in places not designed for justice

agree RT @KinteSpace what drives many bright people of color insane is looking for justice in places not designed for justice

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect what is heartbreaking is a new generation of colored folk not being raised by strong mothers...

@sohumstudios @Anti_Intellect strong mothers who frame racism as a matter of fact that is to be faced with soul, not with suburban "nice"

colored?? strong?? ok bye RT @KinteSpace what is heartbreaking is a new generation of colored folk not being raised by strong mothers...
