Discussion Topics: For many of us, the shelter in place did not decrease vulnerabilities but intensified our threat levels. Why is risk of death from Covid-19 greater for the African American community than other communities? Many people feel more vulnerable to risk of physical injury from others than from contracting Covid19 Depending on the skin tone, some us wear the mask and signal a threat Why can some people wear bandanas as masks without activating alarm? Are police shifting their practices away from targeting bandanas as suspicion and instead moving toward bandanas as safe? How did the narrative of African-a American communities being more at-risk of contracting Covid-19, result in a heightened fear of African American communities in public? Are the prior systems of violence also quarantined? People that were hungry before the Covid-19 shelter in place policy are now more hungry under the Covid19 quarantine efforts. People that were harassed by the police before the Covid-19 shelter in place policy are now harassed more under the Covid19 quarantine efforts. The stigma applied to certain populations What are the psychological effects of lynching? What is relationships between the infrastructure of caretaking of deceased bodies away from public site and lack of concern of threats of Covid-19? Are we desensitized from seeing people coded as Black being killed? What is the history in United States displaying dead Black bodies? How do we internalize the multiple examples of violence toward the Black community and express it our families? How do we make sense of he killing of Ahmaud Arbery within the context of Covid-19? What is the history of lynching as state sanctioned violence? Why is there a debate of whether the killing of Ahmaud Arbery was a form of racism? How do we define racism? Is the release of Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael a form of state sanction of their acts? Is racism as American as apple pie? What are the first legal codes that identify people as Black? Why did Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael suspect robbery if Ahmaud Arbery was jogging? Is every person that jogs suspected of having committed a crime? What are the dictionary associations with the colors black, brown, yellow, red and white? How does our language rewrite our codes of inequality? If we invest in understanding the system, we can build a better future. Why is self-love and self-appreciation threatening to a system that relies on inequality? Why can’t some of run in public because it is perceived as threatening? Have you read the book Bad boys by Ann Ferguson? -Have you seen the film Juice? Why is there a stigma associated with wearing a hoodie? Why do we have to sacrifice our comfort so other people can be more comfortable? Where do people get their ideas about racial prototypes and stigma? If Mexicans, Native Americans and Asians were also Lynched, then why do we only associate lynching with Black communities?
