Trauma could look like any and everything Mon, 07 Mar 2022 10:56:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=2736344 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=2736344 " A history unlearned is a history repeated". Something that is not learned about or teach about is something that continually happens. over and over Sun, 12 May 2024 17:53:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=2736342 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=2736342 yes agree, picture need to see the bigger picture and how long it took for greenwood to finally rest if that makes sense. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 19:37:06 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736341 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736341 right like in the beginning o the first episode Kalalea talks about how her family have got robbed and just never talked about it and it's like why can't accountable for it and say okay this happen maybe we should talk about it Thu, 02 May 2024 14:54:26 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736340 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736340 He is speaking the truth , nothing but facts. It makes you get a better perspective of what trauma really is and what it really means Wed, 09 Mar 2022 14:18:23 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736324 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736324 I really like this episode because what Menakem is saying is how trauma can be passed on in your family from generation to generation young and old.Also how trauma can be anything instead of just being one thing.

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 11:21:23 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736321 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=2736321 How did she even this emotional response to bombing ? Replaying that everyday and every night becomes alot. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:43:51 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=2736320 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=2736320 This is an example of a strong black men fight for his people. Doing what's matter the most! Fri, 11 Mar 2022 10:47:11 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=2736319 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=2736319 Its crazy cause the man saying don't even know he's black lol! Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:14:50 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=2736318 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=2736318 there will never be an good enough answer to why the whites people hated us.This really takes a mental spot over my head.Sick to my stomach. Sun, 12 May 2024 17:07:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736297 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736297 right because they didnt care , they wanted us killed just to see the pain in our eyes. they wanted to see us suffered in silence while the whites clapped and laughed, cheering on while we dying. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 17:12:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736295 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736295 same even though I was not there to experience that, it blows my mind up to having to hear what they done to us and it's like for what though? Just to have control and power over something. What is the real reason why they treated us like animals. Tue, 08 Mar 2022 23:28:31 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736293 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736293 this gets under my skin because this takes us back to slavery and how us black people was on the run for trying to get freedom, when now black people had that type of freedom now it's going to be taken away because of the white people. white people was like a stain on a shirt that just could not be removed. Sun, 05 May 2024 21:59:03 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736291 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=2736291 this makes me so mad. It makes me really hate people. Seeing some of them showing their true colors. Like I can't explain how the pain leads on to me hearing how white people would murder us , burn us and hung us up. so many black people getting killed , so many unheard tears. Also this is relate to that picture of those black man holding their hands up but on the picture it says "captured Negros on way to convention hall- during Tulsa race riot".June 1st 1921. Mon, 07 Mar 2022 19:35:30 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736260 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736260 this shows how good an how much powerful Smitherman had.Then he really didn't have to too much , he just took away from them so they could know that they are the reason why they don't have it anymore . I like Smitherman Sun, 06 Mar 2022 16:27:36 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736242 I just feel like white people just want control of everything, they didnt care about what was wrong or who they hurt. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 14:54:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736241 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736241 right but they still didnt get nowhere because greenwood is still standing strong. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 14:51:23 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736240 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=2736240 they actually planned this out. They wanted us to died, they wanted us to feel the pain and hurt. They wanted a war because of how good the community was and how we had banks , movie theaters, hotels etc, they didn't want us having the same thing they had. Fri, 10 May 2024 14:17:33 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736238 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736238 Sun, 06 Mar 2022 14:30:51 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736236 this is such an emotional thing to hear. Like when I hear this lady speak about what her great- grandmother went through it's like damn , this How much strength you really had take all in to survive being a black person . Sun, 06 Mar 2022 14:11:08 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736234 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736234 I feel like racism is something that repeats itself. Also I feel like if you are black and born , raised in Tulsa then you should know the full background of what Tulsa really was once upon a time ago. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 13:59:59 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736233 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736233 My MIND IS JUST STUCK! We really was monsters to this white people. This is really hurtful Sun, 06 Mar 2022 13:23:08 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736232 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736232 this creates so much hatred towards these white people. Wed, 09 Mar 2022 17:59:59 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736231 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736231 This is totally crazy cause nobody at all knew what really went down in that elevator. Just because he was black they accused this young of something he probably didnt do at all. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 13:18:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736230 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736230 I agree but like how would we even know the truth , if we wasnt in the elevator?. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 13:15:09 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736229 this right here is hurt! I felt those goosebumps,I felt the pain in her voice. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 14:28:19 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736228 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736228 I agree with KalaLea , When you read about the same people that has the same skin color like you , your whole mind wraps around this image of how bad life was for them back then. They life meant nothing but worthless to those white people. Mon, 07 Mar 2022 11:13:23 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736227 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736227 this makes me so upset . They had everything they could dream of. All those morning nights of hard working. Making greenwood a dream come true for black people.This makes me so sick to actually read and seen how they treated us. Everything was destroyed, every life there was of a black person was now gone. Homes burnt to the ground with nothing but ashes left. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 12:46:34 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736225 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=2736225 this is just a random thoughts but I feel like when something goes deeply wrong or bad things happen , either black people or black families completely shuts down and never talks about it again. But I feel like this is why it be so much tension in black families Sun, 06 Mar 2022 12:24:54 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711332 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711332 All black people heard about what was happening to Rowland and knew it wasnt true.So they went where the whites was to stop it all Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:43:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711329 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711329 Every white person is about what happen to the white women.Every one is angry but it's like why should they when they didnt even know what happen in the elevator,only the two who was in the elevator Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:40:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711326 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711326 This where everything just turns left and just went bad . A black man named rowland was in a elevator with a white Women, we dont know what really happen.We only know based off what the lady said to the police officers. Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:35:06 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711323 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711323 who is writing this? Why did they hate us this bad? Black people had everything that the whites. We was living lavish.So when one thing went wrong involving`with a black and white person. that was the chance for the whites to end every last bit of anything black people had Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:30:08 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711294 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=2711294 I feel like greenwood was a safe place for black people. It was a good neighborhood. Everybody was didn't have to worry about anything Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:20:59 -0500
