Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. It is moving, and enlightening and educational. And I think looking at the world through a different perspective helps us understand and hopefully bridge divides.

You said "something happens to trigger everything that existed in the past." That really struck me, because I think when something happens, not only does it trigger everything that existed in the past, that "everything bundle" is used as a tool (or a sword). For example, we cannot deny that racism and sexism were used against Obama and Clinton during the primaries. And, we cannot deny that racism is used as a tool against Obama in an attempt to keep him a "one term president."

Your contribution, along with MHP article is eye-opening--and hopefully mind-opening!
