As I’m scrambling to come to terms with the tragedy in Boulder, I still haven’t fully processed what happened in Atlanta last week. Part of the reason for my slow motion reaction is coming to terms with the fact that the sheer magnitude of this atrocity has actually been building up little by little, right under our nose, one racist remark at a time, one “inconsequential” violent act at a time. It’s as if I just watched a surprise ending of a movie, but realize there were actually so many obvious clues throughout each and every scene leading to the end.
