They were seemingly free to roam the nation's capital, intimidate elected officials, and take selfies with Capitol Police—a jarring contrast to the treatment received by Black Lives Matter protesters earlier this year. ”I’m generally nonplussed at the seemingly daily instances of social hypocrisy displayed by our institutions toward nonwhite Americans when compared to the treatment of their white counterparts. But this felt different,“ writes Jimmie Briggs for V.F. “I saw little show of force, for hours. I saw no batons. I witnessed no knees on necks. I watched, instead, a failed, half-assed coup attempt unfold... And the executive branch, the federal government, the president of the United States, in effect, held the plotters’ coats.“ Still, there are positive lessons in the events of 1/6/21: “As an American, I will go to bed disgusted. But as a Black man I feel joy, pride, and for the first time in many years, hope.“ Briggs says Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff's twin Senate victories in Georgia “proved that white Americans are actually reckoning with themselves,“ finally bringing into focus the lie of supremacy they have told themselves generation after generation. And the scores of Black (especially Black women), Asian, Latino, Native, and white American voters who recognized the merit of Warnock’s and Ossoff’s qualifications and visions saw through the lie of whiteness.
