Ok people, I hope you are all doing well. I’m asking this with intention. And with care. QUESTIONS FOR THOSE COMFORTABLE SHARING How did you receive the racist image of the Obamas that was posted by that individual? What did it stir in you—emotionally, mentally, physically? Because for many, this was not “just an image.” It landed as trauma. It reopened fear. It reminded people—especially Black people—that no amount of excellence, dignity, brilliance, or service inoculates you from hatred. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE I understand he has since made a video taking responsibility, while simultaneously insisting he has nothing to apologize for. That matters. Because responsibility without remorse is not accountability. Ownership without empathy is not growth. Free speech without conscience becomes violence—slow, corrosive violence. WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? Not just Black people. Everyone with a living conscience. Because when racism is dismissed, rationalized, or laughed off, it doesn’t only wound its immediate targets. It deforms the moral spine of a society. Let’s be honest: Some consciences are not merely asleep. They are deadened. Repeated exposure without consequence does that. FOR THOSE FEELING SHAKEN Your reaction is valid. Your anger is valid. Your exhaustion is valid. You are not “too sensitive.” You are responding appropriately to dehumanization. Silence doesn’t keep the peace. It keeps the wound open. So I’m asking again—because this matters: How did you take it? And what do you think we owe one another in moments like this—if we claim to be human, if we claim to have conscience? I’m listening.
