Vicarious Racism

Vicarious racism is when Black, Indigenous, and people of color witness other people in our communities experiencing racism, and we get secondary trauma from it. Vicarious racism can be triggered by observing racist incidents, learning about them, and in some cases, having to recount them.

The tactless posting of graphic videos and images of Black people being victims of racist attacks is a form of vicarious racism.

Vicious cycle

An overrated, half-assed band with an overused, half-assed name. The band has existed for 32 years probably and enjoys having it's many fan, Cory, in the Portland\vancouver metro area. The band was made famous after coming up with their most original album idea yet: sex robots. A fully functional sexbot was built for a local show, but after wandering away from the venue it was found with two women, knee deep in a swamp of passion and a bucket of chicken. When they can't be found shredding the ears off the folks at the 40 et 8 BINGO hall, they can be found in someone's garage shredding the established idea of decent music.

-"Hey, have you heard that awesome band vicious cycle!?"

-"No."
