It’s the holidays, listeners, when the majority of this country celebrate how their experience of this season is defined as the default universal experience, while every other cultural group’s experience is expected to be in reaction and comparison to the majority’s experiences. And if a person doesn’t wish to live in reaction to this default experience of the season, they are seen as hostile (or belligerent) merely for their wish to not participate in what is, after all, a celebration of the erasure of their culture under the dominant violence of another’s. All to say, happy Blood Stone Day to those who celebrate it!
