If you were never taught to not hit someone you would keep repeating the action because you're unaware of the problem, https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=3299477 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=3299477 Thu, 02 May 2024 15:25:45 -0400 Yes, we should honor them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=3299455 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297802?scroll_to=3299455 Thu, 02 May 2024 15:01:49 -0400 Yes, trauma hits you deep and then stays there. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299449 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299449 Thu, 02 May 2024 14:58:13 -0400 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299442 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299442 Thu, 02 May 2024 14:54:26 -0400 This is totally true, The way kids learn is from watching others. That is how we learned how to speak and tie our shoes. Those people weren't born hating black people. They got it from their parents who got it from theirs as well. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299437 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299437 Thu, 02 May 2024 14:50:07 -0400 I agree, there's more than one way to get trauma. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299426 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299426 Thu, 02 May 2024 14:42:48 -0400 I don't fully agree with this analogy. Yes, white supremacy is the water, but not all the water that is around us. Some of that water is contained. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299399 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299399 Thu, 02 May 2024 14:23:35 -0400 She had to live with the memories for so many years. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299379 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299379 Thu, 02 May 2024 14:08:07 -0400 I can't imagine having to live with that in my mind. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299255 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297801?scroll_to=3299255 Thu, 02 May 2024 11:00:49 -0400 This type of ambition is why black people have accomplished so much. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299254 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299254 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:58:13 -0400 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299239 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299239 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:55:02 -0400 He really gave a random man the authority of law, just so he could help act on his and every one's hatred of black people. This shows that the police's oath to "serve and protect", was biased. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299238 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299238 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:54:28 -0400 They saw it as a game. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299218 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299218 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:39:56 -0400 Those children were being taught to hate black people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299216 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297798?scroll_to=3299216 Fri, 10 May 2024 14:46:20 -0400 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299215 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299215 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:28:23 -0400 That's so messed up. They risked their life for the country to protect it and its people just so those same people can still treat them badly. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299214 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299214 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:27:34 -0400 It's great that even in such cruel times, people of color still were able to be successful. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299213 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:22:57 -0400 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299212 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:18:44 -0400 I think the opportunity was that if they fought for the country that treated them badly, they may have actually started to treat them like citizens. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299211 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297578?scroll_to=3299211 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:17:29 -0400 That's so messed up, there were literally cargo companies that shipped human beings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3299196 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3299196 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:09:41 -0400 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3299195 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3299195 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:01:45 -0400 Both Natives and Blacks were oppressed by white people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3299194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3299194 Thu, 02 May 2024 10:00:25 -0400 I agree, the attack was too coordinated to not be planned for a while. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3297980 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3297980 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:48:25 -0400 Chess is black vs. white. That rivalry is what started the massacre. Whites see blacks as their enemies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3297979 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297575?scroll_to=3297979 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:47:07 -0400 I feel this was planned even before the black guy got accused. Him getting accused was just a chance to ruin that community and get seen as people who are just getting justice. So they could get away with it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297978 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297978 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:38:27 -0400 I think they just used this as an excuse to destroy Greenwood. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297975 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297975 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:32:05 -0400 It's sad that they tried to prevent new generations from knowing to try and make people forget. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297973 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297973 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:30:25 -0400 This shows how powerful hatred is. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297969 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297969 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:23:20 -0400 Maybe that feeling of violation stuck with her because she never had someone to express and talk to about how she felt so it stayed with her. She didn't have someone to help release those feelings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297968 https://nowcomment.com/documents/297573?scroll_to=3297968 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:14:34 -0400 You can tell that they destroyed this community out of pure hate. They could've just killed the man that was accused of raping the woman, but they killed lives that had nothing to do with the situation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282725 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282725 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:41:17 -0400 I feel they only became officers just so they can selfishly use their authority just to help themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282723 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282723 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:37:54 -0400 Just like officers today, they abuse their authority and power. They can just let anyone get away with anything because no one can do anything about it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282718 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282718 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:35:40 -0400 It's interesting that they really destroyed a community, took human lives, just because of their hatred of black skin. https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282709 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282709 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:28:05 -0400 They knew that no one would be able to stop them and that they wouldn't have any sort of trouble when committing these murders. This just shows how sick times were back then https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282708 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293214?scroll_to=3282708 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:24:59 -0400 This is why the chapter is named Colorblind. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3204027 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3204027 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 14:17:33 -0500 He didn't tell on him, he's a good friend. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3204022 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3204022 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 14:09:51 -0500 He should've just told her. Anything could happen. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3203988 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3203988 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 13:58:40 -0500 It's sad that at a young age, he compared himself to other people when at that age your supposed to have flaws. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3200783 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3200783 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 10:39:16 -0500 He was deemed responsibility to ask out the girl because they were the only two black people so they had to be together. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3200782 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3200782 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 10:32:26 -0500 He was so desperate to have someone like him that he didn't even question the girl. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3198639 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3198639 Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:58:01 -0500 It's sad that to be able to make a living you had to leave you're family and friends, you had to leave the real person you are to become someone that fit into the standards of the world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3198634 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227850?scroll_to=3198634 Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:53:23 -0500 I agree. Some people think just because in the vows they say states to love your partner forever, they now own their partner. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3171065 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3171065 Fri, 03 Nov 2023 13:06:07 -0400 It's sad because before Trever, she felt like she didn't have anyone that loved or cared about her. She didn't have anyone to love either. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3166189 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3166189 Mon, 30 Oct 2023 14:39:44 -0400 I like how they were given nothing but still came up with a way to live. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227673?scroll_to=3160714 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227673?scroll_to=3160714 Mon, 23 Oct 2023 14:11:40 -0400 I relate to this. My mom and I could be arguing and two seconds later we could say something funny and both laugh. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227673?scroll_to=3156390 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227673?scroll_to=3156390 Wed, 18 Oct 2023 10:04:47 -0400 This really explains how even though people thought he was white, once he spoke their language, he was one of them at that moment. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155839 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155839 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:40:06 -0400 That must be very hard to experience as a kid. Not being able to enjoy going outside because people run away and look at you. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155806 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155806 Wed, 18 Oct 2023 10:22:49 -0400 He doesn't think he can truly get away with anything just because he has white in him and is aware that he's not better because he's half white. He just using that to his advantage for cookies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155776 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155776 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:29:21 -0400 The gradmother treated him exactly how white people get treated in America. White people get left off with warnings and has it easy when it comes to getting in trouble with law. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155760 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=3155760 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:19:45 -0400
