disheartening, yes. however, not exactly pandemic. the problem is, it's like the public and the media are in cahoots to try to deliberately ruin our own afterglow. we've been bracing since election night for these events to occur. like we just knew something would happen so we waited with baited breath. we can't wait to be victimized or at least share in the victimization by proxy.

it's just really irritating. we KNOW racism is alive and well. this isn't new information. so why are we wallowing around in this like it's a revelation?
