Some of the changes I have made would be better suited for discussion elsewhere because they involve allowing my creator to help me with my anxiety and fear. My anxiety and fear caused me to not push back hard enough on some issues where someone else was behaving badly and also effected my judgement. Had I been mentally stronger, perhaps some of the traumatizing things (to others, not just myself) would have still happened but I would have had a much better chance of resolving issues more quickly. It is important to treat others as we want to be treated but also not allow ourselves
and others to be mistreated. When bad things happen, it can be because of communication breaking down which causes misunderstandings and one error can cascade into others. When we are unkind, uncaring, uninclusive, it causes a lot of problems.

Some of the uninclusiveness, etc has been passed down from one generation to the next and it isn't always a simply thing to fix it. Though I know that the riots (when property is destroyed and/ or the police overreact it complicates the whole issue--the two are separate issues and shouldn't be happening) are because of patterns of mistreatment. There are bad actors everywhere, but I acknowledge that many of the problems are systemic. I once said to someone I know, "Don't you think it is harder to be poor than black?" She said, "Imagine being poor and black." I had to agree that if you are poor and black, things are still very tough.
