What is truly exhausting is deciphering what has actually changed amid the AOC Plus Me shirt and by the same token and copious sharing, newly formed anti-racist book clubs, and posting of black squares one arbitrary Tuesday in June. In light of the zero charges brought for Breonna Taylor’s death, it would be easy to say nothing has.The devastating irony that 65 years before, on the same day, was the acquittal of 14-year-old Emmett Till’s murderers. This social Groundhog Day feels forlorn and further highlights that any tangible taste of justice is still not within our grasp. It is mentally damaging having to simultaneously educate non-Black people on how to be anti-racist while having to defend the validity of why something is racist in the first place. The Black experience is constantly questioned, reduced, or belittled by those who know nothing of it as they are cocooned by their own privilege.
