Erin seems to have more faith in mass media than I do, as well as in her ability to recognize where trauma truly comes from. I honestly think 'slave trauma' comes from reading and learning about the history of slavery (and only focusing on the transatlantic slave trade), rather than genetic trauma (although I won't rule it out, or deny it may be a contributing factor).
It's clear to me that a family as irrelevant as The Royals to most people in the world today garners far more attention and more hatred than they deserve. Watching the outsized hate and hysterics delivered at all of them - with only Prince Andrew worthy of any anger, really - on Twitter points to just how fucked up our world is, and how this plays well into the hands of the government and capitalists - we're not paying attention to the issues that affect *all* of us, and united we stand, divided we fall. They thank both the far left and the far right for their support.
There's WAAAAY too much attention paid to what people *claim* is causing their mental distress (which they believe) and the underlying pathologies driving it. No, they feel like they can't do anything about their future or unstable unemployment (they're wrong) so they take it out on #MeghanMarkleTheNarcissist and #KKKatherine and #CharlesIsAPsychopath. Yeah, there's racism in the royal family - and the Meghan-haters - and the Katherine-haters - and the House of Windsor has been fucked up for many, many years - but not as much as they were 25 years ago when Diana died and they had to do some real soul-searching. There was very real anger that stemmed from her death and she really was poorly treated by them. The Royals were hated even in England and I can *see* the differences today as opposed to 1997.
I'm getting very tired of hearing the past tossed up as though there was anything we can do about it. Why not focus on the present and the future, which is what we *can* change? But, when you keep people focused on ancient history and unimportant items today ("OMG DID QUEEN ELIZABETH REALLY ASK IF THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A BLACK BABY?" #QueenElizabethIsAndrewJacksonReincarnatedWhichNowThatIThinkAboutItMightMakeHerTrans) they're not thinking about what they can do about their present and future, which would not align very well with the objectives of the government and capitalists.
