Abstract

The article reflects on racial domination related violence in the U.S. and feeling of desensitization. It mentions that whiteness continues to define violence among social groups due to colonial hegemony's history and black people suffer from incarceration, racial profiling and death. It informs that sharing of historically ignored stories with public pedagogy such as television, news, and counter media helps in understanding violence.
