Agree about the point of “possessions not being allowed to have possessions” and how that impacts things still.

There is a line “But the black experience in America has always been more crypto.” That usage of the word “crypto” I haven’t seen before, so I don’t know if it’s used incorrectly or if I’m just not aware.

I’ll add a point to the whole land acknowledgement. I think it’s more sinister. I think it’s a way for Americans do absolve themselves of guilt without having to “do” anything to make amends. Notice that no one who does a land acknowledgement every gives the land back.
