Who was in New York at the time of the attack on The World Trade Center said he was not frightened by the attack because black people have always been terrorized. Black people have learned coping skills from the time we were toddlers, but what happens when you don’t develop radar to let you anticipate the dangers around you, your coping abilities may hurt you. He’s just joking, he wouldn’t do all of those things he said, someone else should fix this, I will continue to do the things that make me comfortable rather than stand for something and we could have a page of excuses telling us somehow this will all work out. Survival coping is a learned skill and even people in government do not have it. Until the majority of Americans become uncomfortable and aim their anger at the real villains nothing will change.
