And I'm a privileged middle class white woman.

I cannot imagine the level of exhaustion in black communities. This is nothing new for them. This is decades, centuries that this has happened. The concept of having a "safe" place--basically the need to take care of yourself sometimes, among all the badness, is just really poignant.
