What a blessing to be a father. I tell terrible dad jokes. I indulge my daughter’s ice cream sandwich addiction. She makes me smile every day, even when times are tough. Still, every parent will confess:. The world is a dangerous place filled with threats to kids’ safety and well-being. For Black, Latino and Native American parents, one of those threats is white supremacy.
The publicly posted videos captured by a bystander and home surveillance system end with the officer’s handgun discharged at point-blank range to the back of Patrick’s head while he tussled on the ground, with the officer atop his back.

If George Floyd’s murder is not on your mind still, then you’re lucky. If videos showing killings of unarmed citizens who are typically Black men do not haunt you, then you’re privileged. If you thought the “racial reckoning” in summer 2020 would fix everything, then you’re foolish. As COVID-19 becomes endemic and Black people, Latinos and Native Americans continue to die at disproportionate rates, and as the protests from 2020 fade, many people want to “get back to normal.” I hear it all the time where I work at Rice University, broadcast by powerful people unfamiliar with trauma, oblivious to how racially hostile white spaces can be for many of us. What they don’t seem to realize is that their normal is our traumatic.
