#TodaysLessonOnRacism #EricNelson the defense counsel in the #DerekChauvin murder trial displayed how easy microaggressions are imposed on others. While interviewing a pulmonologist, the medical professional used the word "respiratorial". The defense council tried at least 4 times to repeat the word unsuccessfully. He then concluded with a smile on his face he was "impressed" with his accent. I understood the Specialist to mean "of the respiratory system". The idea that a person in the act of defending his client in a murder trial could be comically distracted by an "impressive" accent is problematic at best, insulting and racist at worst. On another note, the idea that one person in the jury could find reasonable doubt in this trial is akin to the period of #JimCrow when Black people were not invited to sit on juries yet were "judged by their peers". #crushtheisms #crushbigotry #crushracism #crushrevisionism #thatsracist https://www.instagram.com/p/CNarlApraEA/?igshid=zske1dxbe8cp
