The sunken place is when a person of color or a woman is in a (read: non-cisgendered, white men) state of cognitive dissonance and unconsciousness in regards to all forms of systematic oppression, particularly systemic racism. From: Jordan Peele's 'Get Out'. Particularly key to the Sunken Place is its self-induced helpless due to ignoring racism, sexism, and discrimination as a person of color.
Ben Carson is in the sunken place.

Get the Safe Place mug.A room or area where left wing people can go to cry about politics. Commonly used by socialist collage students after elections they did not win. Inside a modern safe place are typically service dogs, free hot chocolate, therapy, counseling and pillows and couches. Some safe places are so pampered that they allow occupants to say for days at a time. Although unnecessary, safe places cost schools thousands of dollars, and sometimes are even fully governmentally funded.
