Community Responses to ‘1,000 Years of Hindu Colonial Trauma’
They had no idea what was about to happen
Here are some community responses so far to the Hindu Colonial Trauma presentation I launched in August 2021.
These responses are from both Black/brown and white community members:
“I didn’t know how much I didn’t know.”
“I didn’t know there were so many intersections.”
“This should be a college course.”
“I never had access to this learning before because of my marginalizations. Thank you so much for teaching us.”
“This is the missing link.”
“It’s mindblowing.”
“Everyone needs to hear this.”
“I’m here watching it for the second time now.”
“I am grateful for your work creating a point of entry and resources to learn more.”
“In learning all of this it continues to remind me the repeating of history. Lately I have been thinking about the hostility of learning critical race theory. Parents are afraid that if they learn about history the kids might feel bad about themselves.”
“It’s so much. We can’t be surprised really but it’s still an immense genocide that I was not aware of.”
