The people were never healed as a collective.

The collective trauma was never addressed.

The people were not repaired.

It's in the fabric. 

Yes, some progress has been made.

Yet, a simultaneous approach to healing the trauma has not been a part of the progress.

People are ill.  Mentally ill. In a deep and complex way that's steeped in vile hatred. 

These people are free to roam with no national intervention. 

Yes, America can be many other things while concurrently being THIS.

Still, this IS America, Y'all!
