@mekkaokereke I saw this news this morning, and so distrusted that it was real and not copaganda, that I de-boosted my original boost. I'm thrilled to reboost yours with the additional context.

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:@CStamp Agreed — that’s definitely how it should be used. It seems like it’s drifted over time to mean “I am watching those artifacts so I don’t become complacent.” (Or at least, that’s how I sometimes hear it in my communities.) That’s a worthy sentiment but not great for mental health.

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:@mekkaokereke YES, thank you. I talk a lot about this in my job. I feel like culturally, we’ve created this obsession with “bearing witness”. But bearing witness without community support and with no plan of action to take afterward is just trauma.
