Is it just me? 🤔 A serious question.
I was talking to a friend of mine, a woman of color, who is setting up a consultancy to help trauma survivors. I commented that what hurts one, hurts all, whether in our community, our country or our world. This seems self evident and obvious to me, but she mentioned that it is a foreign concept to many. So I thought i'd ask the CoSo community, is it just me who believes this or do others view it the same way?
If you ask a person of color, they will have a different opinion.
My point exactly. It doesn’t matter what we white people think in a discussion with POC.
They have reasons to not adopt a more metaphysical approach to the topic.
As long as they must have “the talk” with their kids, we are not on a level playing field.
My white sons have never had the talk.
@killingfloorman Minorities (particularly PoC) are less apt to have been treated as though their struggles matter so won't have experienced that attitude as often. @LnzyHou
