Doesn't Weinberg College of the Arts know you're not allowed to refer to these as "challenging times"?? That is not black-approved phrasing and represents a place of white privilege.

This is really something, the guy gets attacked and you can see the wheels spinning in his head, he realizes the "protesters" are violent, he realizes their violence isnt directed at any valid target, he realizes that the streets are more dangerous than he has ever seen them, and he accepts that something must be done... and then he blames Trump.

I believe you are reading that backwards, his first post is about Trump and telling everyone what he thinks being a proud American is. The more recent posts are the ones about getting his face punched in by a bunch of ingrates.

Op-Ed: I’m a Black social media manager in the age of George Floyd. Each day is a new trauma
Recently, as I scrolled the more than 1 million tweets connected to the hashtag #Black_Lives_Matter, this is what flashed before my eyes: the black-and-white dashcam video of Philando Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, in handcuffs crying, her 4-year-old daughter trying to comfort her; protesters in Berlin standing in solidarity with the BLM movement; a video of a young, Black girl calling herself ugly; police attacking protesters and protesters fighting back; an image of George Floyd unable to breathe.

Suddenly neither could I. My chest tightened, my heart beat faster and hot tears began to bubble from my eyes.
For a person of color, engaging in this moment of collective trauma — whether by watching and sharing the video of George Floyd’s death, discussing racial injustice on social media or speaking out in the physical world — involves anxiously teetering across the fine lines between personal experience, obligations to the community and — in my case — professional responsibilities. Since I manage a news organization’s social media platforms, it’s part of my job.

Many Americans describe watching the videos as a wake-up call to persistent racial injustice. For Black Americans it touches a deeper nerve, creating a form of vicarious trauma, said Ann Ebhojiaye, a psychotherapist in Baltimore.

The reaction is normal. “You’re seeing images and videos of violence against people that look like you and sometimes not being aware of what you’re experiencing,” she told me.

Recognizing that effect is important. Research suggests that repeated viewing of terrorism news coverage can lead to symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, especially in people who have previous exposure to violence. Yet the onslaught of distressing images is hard to escape.

These videos carry echoes of historical images of lynchings and public killings of Black people. “There is a long memory and expectation extending from slavery that Black suffering be public,” said Deidre Cooper Owens, a historian and the director of the Humanities in Medicine Program at the University of Nebraska.

But Cooper Owens does not call for censorship of images. Instead, she points to the gratuitous nature of their sharing as a problem. Why, she asked, should Black people be subject to “the overrepresentation of our trauma?”

Yet there’s little doubt that these kinds of videos helped to grow the Black Lives Matter movement into an urgent national protest. Their viral nature forced society and even the global community to witness the brutality so many wanted to deny.

As a social media manager, I wonder if those of us in this field should be doing more to help users navigate this traumatic moment.

If you type the word “suicide” into your Twitter search bar, you are immediately presented with an embedded message that reads “Help is available,” as well as a phone number and link to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline website.

If sensitive content such as the video of Floyd’s death and countless others like it are allowed on social media platforms, why shouldn’t that content be flagged with additional support and resources?

“There is a general lack of understanding from the social media industry about the effects of repeatedly consuming disturbing content,” said C. Vaile Wright, senior director of healthcare innovation at the American Psychological Assn.

For instance, images that depict gratuitous gore and certain sexual content are not allowed on Twitter, but sensitive content such as the video of Floyd’s death do not break Twitter’s rules. They are allowed to appear on the platform, but they should appear with an interstitial — a filter that warns of sensitive content, and blurs the content until you click and agree to see it.

Video hashing tools are used across the social media industry to prevent re-uploads of violent videos, but they can’t stop re-uploads of versions that have been altered or edited. Likewise, the interstitial warnings may disappear when sensitive videos are edited and re-uploaded, as is the case with viral content, such as the killing of George Floyd.
One option is for users to adjust their safety settings on Twitter to block sensitive content and disable the autoplay function of videos on their timelines.

What we do know is that simply unplugging isn’t adequate advice for communities of color trying to cope with the effects of vicarious trauma. Sometimes, as Ebhojiaye said, “it’s important to really process, why are you so emotional?” When you have that awareness, you can work toward taking action in a way that you feel is empowering, she said.

For me, watching Floyd’s agonizing death caused me to confront the pain of a lifetime of digesting racist and colorist messaging that seemed to scream, “Your skin is too dark, your hair is too kinky, your voice does not matter, your life does not matter!”

Viewing that video and other images that assault people who look like me is part of my profession. It can be very hard to steel yourself against the pain you see.

For me, healing has involved reminding myself that I am both beautiful and worthy. That’s something I do through the art of storytelling, songwriting, performance art — and writing like this.

Oh no reading other's people's opinions makes you feel bad.
Fucking hell normie internet is cancerous, no wonder the person who brought it on us got cancer.

Bring back the days of needing thick skin to be online, bring back the days of normies at most just using email and AOL.

The internet and chefs have something in common
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

I spent hours watching and reviewing the many videos that showed a man getting shot and dying to get screen shots in order to show some normies that Brooks aimed a weapon at police and fired it at police. Yet I am to expect a non graphic "death" is to be traumatizing to this person?

Sounds like she has the wrong job.

Just to add to my rant
At one point I worked in medical IT, for a private clinic that did radiology stuff, I worked in the billing office which was a separate building then the medical stuff not even in the same county, I should have been sheltered from death right?
Oh how wrong I was, I at times had to go in to patient records for one reason or another because they needed a list of patients who had something done or had open accounts or what ever.
I can't tell how how many times I would come across baby <last name> (deceased).

If you work anywhere in medical that isn't software dev for a vendor (and even then you still might) you will end up dealing with death outside of friends and family at some point. She is in the wrong industry on both counts.

There's no doubt in my mind that the FBI now spends most of its discretionary (to borrow a term from government spending categories) time now trying to trick mentally ill white people into doing a violent racism like it used to trick mentally ill arab people into doing a violent terrorism.

Just look at the 15 agents they sent to investigate that tiny "noose" (it was almost certainly not a slipknot but instead the kind you use to tie a hook on the end of a fishing line AKA "improved clinch knot") in a garage somewhere.

I had this on in the background while it was live and you could tell from Tim's voice in the lead up to his rant that he was getting absolutely pissed. I don't watch every video Tim does, and I assuredly find a lot of his takes to fit that "milquetoast fence-sitter" moniker he likes to use, but it's been so satisfying to watch him get more and more angry at how things are going in the last several months. I'm glad he said the fuck word too. You don't hear him say it at all and it only cemented how absolutely pissed he was.

This is the sort of anger I wish was more acceptable nowadays, instead of this bullshit where you physical beat people or destroy property. Words are violence and violence isn't.

I don't know why the FBI did it, I am just glad they did and they tried to shut down the noose thing so quickly, but No Bubba had to double down on "IT WAS A NOOSE" Sadly every lefttard I know (not all lefties just some "slow in the mind" ones) still believe it was a noose. -_-

Pretty sure she was planning on throwing our boy Justin [Abraham Ford] out of her apartment along with all of his stuff. Then again couples that have long, drawn-out dramatic screaming matches in public tend to stay together longer than what's good for anybody involved. Well, at least until one of them dies or goes to jail.

I hope so too, though, god damn I think that was the most entertaining thing I've seen in a week or two.
