.SpeakPatrice: There's a longstanding legacy of Black people laughing to keep from crying while just trying to survive in a country founded on their dehumanization.

For centuries, Black people have been gaslit, erased, ignored, punished, arrested, mocked, humiliated and killed trying to raise the alarms each and every time white supremacy threatened to wreak havoc on everyone — not just Black people.

As Black people, we are not separated from the impacts of this mess; in fact, as the most vulnerable communities, we stand to bear the brunt of it. Cokley insisted that this schadenfreude is not unhealthy psychologically speaking, “unless of course it results in a complete indifference to the shared humanity and universal experience of pain and suffering.”

But more important, Black people don’t owe this country empathy. As author Kimberly Jones said in her own now-viral video from this summer, referring to Black Lives Matter protesters:"Far as I’m concerned, they could burn this bitch to the ground, and it still wouldn’t be enough. And they are lucky that what Black people are looking for is equality and not revenge.”
