How we can start to heal the pain of racial divisions
Summary
This is a story that is really true, though, no one can't tell because it's taboo. It's racism shockingly and it is not a problem between black and white but it's a culture problem. It has become the culture of whiteness, not white people, and a social construct.

It’s connecting a problem between Korea and Japan and another problem of a defeated country of Japan in my brain. It's a culture where there is in vicious volley thus we can't solve. It's layered and created by wrong education every year and then people can't know about the truth.

The speaker explains that it's a culture where white people are seen as necessary and friendly insiders and where people of color and black are seen as dangerous and threatening outsiders. It's been the same that Japanese people call foreigners Gaizin because Gai means outside and Zin means people. I’m really shocked.

Furthermore, she tells us that in the social construct that is this culture, we are socialized, however, it doesn't create our better world. She said that we must fix it because we can't humanize our future.

Her conclusion, she said that it's the important model, is redemption. Movements for racial justice must be redemptive rather than punitive, whether we want to live into the fullest of your political or not, and whether we want to be healed or not.

My conclusion is that the solution we think is not a solution. It's because people want to win, to find criminal, and want criminal to apologize. It won't lead to redemption of each other,  so it must do with each other, it doesn't lose, and it doesn't pay money. Enabling those must mean humanizing our future. We have to think thoroughly a lot.
