In all honesty, I think this take it too gentle. Sonya Renee Taylor writes and speaks about the death cult that is White supremacy, and the U.S. embodies this: people (I’m referencing all White people, irrespective of other identity categories) would rather kill others and themselves knowing they died with power than divest from white supremacy. Yes, structures of oppression are bad for all parties implicated, but blaming trauma minimizes the experience of Black, Indigenous, and multiply marginalized folks whose existences are under siege. While people like being White, period.
