As the world turns on its axis and the historical insurrection that happened in the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. occurred, it is a queasy feeling to come to grips with âliving Black in America.â
Over and over again, from many commentaries, it has been stated that if the crowd had been Black, there would have been many more deaths and arrests. Television personality Joe Scarborough speculated that a gruesome ending would have occurred. It is noticeable that during the Black Lives Matter march, obscenities were not heard. However, vulgarities and frightening words shouted at the January 6 riot made Americans wonder about the stability of democracy.

More than a week removed from an insurrection and days before the presidential inauguration, many in the tightknit community are feeling conflicting emotions. Celebrations are in order, but crowds are being urged to stay home on Inauguration Day amid threats of violence and the coronavirus.
