Seeing all of this there is no doubt in my mind that history affects where we are at today. What hit me the hardest was learning about Generational Trauma and how it turns into a flow chart of how people of color are seen as criminals, criminals seen as a threat, and a threat seen as something to be eliminated, therefore people of color being seen as needed to be eliminated. I am not sure how it can be broken down more clearly than that as to what needs to be rectified today.
