Rye: Black People ‘Carry Trauma in Our Bodies’ from Systemic Racism of American Policing

‘It is not fair for us to allow for a police officer to shoot and kill because they have an irrational fear of a black person or a person of color’

EXCERPT:
RYE: “What is incumbent upon, I think especially people who are perpetrators of said system, is to understand that it’s not just my experience. It’s not just me being emotional. There is literally trauma that I carry in my body. I encourage you all to read a book called “My Grandmother’s Hands” by Resmaa Menakem, who talks about how we carry trauma in our bodies. White body supremacy, black body trauma, and police body trauma. It is not fair for us to allow for a police officer to shoot and kill because they have an irrational fear of a black person or a person of color. That’s something that has to be addressed at the systemic level.”
