The Wall of Moms formed during tRump's federal occupation of Portland with his personal SWAT teams. They were there to protest this incursion and the brutal violence it created. They were not there because of "ancestral pain", there were there to protest current, ongoing pain. But they were mostly White women, so that makes them less worthy than if they had brown skin, according to many articles by Black men and women.

Blacks are blowing it. They have massive support from White people to a degree that hasn't existed in the past. But rather than taking advantage of this to get important changes, they prefer to use it in an endless, unceasing campaign to blame, shame, guilt-trip, and castigate White people. I'm eager to help, but apparently you don't want it, because I don't have something called "ancestral pain", but apparently I do have something called "dirty pain".
