Honestly, as a mixed race person, I cannot imagine the stress people of colour in the United States have to deal with living life on a daily basis in a place where there is so much virulent hate against them. This is something I have never dealt with where I live. Being brown or being mixed is normal where I live. Where I live white people are the exception, and whiteness is not the norm or standard, it’s unusual. I cannot imagine the psychological pressure of living in a place where you know that your mere existence causes people to wish you dead and gone. It has got to take a really heavy toll on a person’s psyche. Spiritually speaking that must so damaging. I really have so much empathy. And yet I am also so grateful that this is not my reality.
