are you kidding me with this shit?

enough.
I just read a post that a facebook "friend" wrote. She asked "what's the big deal with Aunt Jemima pancake syrup? Why are they changing the name and brand?"  Several people responded with basic and simple human empathy. Essentially this: it is racist, it hurts people, and it is symbolic of hate...tipping the hat to slavery, folks. Capitalizing on the "good, clean fun" of the good 'ol days of blackface and happy negroes doing a song and dance for the white people. It's a symbol of the kidnap and enslavement and dehumanization of an entire race of people who still live within the wounds of that despicable (and economic) choice that has caused infinite suffering and oppression of a people for 400 fucking years. And, yet, this fuckwad continued to ask...why? who's hurt? where's the proof? um...open your fucking eyes! Thousands of people are marching in the streets. Black Lives Matter is a global wave that is pressuring changes in police training, laws, and waking people up to their white privilege. ALL OVER THE WORLD.
It is the saturation of her privilege that disables her capacity to notice, or worse, to care, that people are shouting from the rooftops that they are hurting. She calls this issue "minutiae." I just can't with this person. I just can't.

And, then don't get me started. I've always had the gut feeling of the husband and wife SE team that is big into marketing and putting out product. It's always felt suspect. I've worked with clients that have done the "online at home program" that the wife sells and I've handled the clean-up. It's a mess. Well, this guy....ug...this guy...just put out a holier than thou, "let me 'splain it all to you, cuz I'm the boss man" explanation of what trauma is and what it isn't. His long-winded post is essentially a cut and paste of the basics of SE without the understanding of the complexities and nuances of the message of "trauma happens in the physiology." He negates the existence of traumas like racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, etc because they don't package tightly into the ('scuse me while I push my glasses up off my nose) categories of shock trauma or developmental trauma. Um....So, he's basically proclaiming, with a puffed up chest, that it just can't be. It's not in one of those categories...must just be abuse. a big ass hurt. but, not trauma.
I beg to fucking differ, dude.
Oh, and by the way, it's a big fucking giveaway that you're a classic narcissist when your FB photos are an endless album of only you and your fucking mug. Filled, of course, with comments about how deep and profound your blue eyes are. Excuse me while I vomit. Oh, that and the PLANfuckingDEMIC video you posted amidst the very real, people are fucking dying, COVID pandemic.

I just can't with these fucking people.
