Prototype notes

1975. Chester Pierce / Dr. Chester Pierce -> founder of Black Psychiatrists of America, coined the term "microaggression". I had to look him up to figure out what field it came from. now I feel slightly bad about making fun of the subdivisions of the term like "microinvalidation" because, well, it would be a more productive use of this thing for people to know about Pierce existing. yes, 'musical chairs' strategies only go so far, and we need to get over great men, I would argue even and especially in all the social theories or blue anarchisms of the United States and Europe that are pretending not to be movements. but at the same time "Chester Pierce was the first Black therapist at Massachusetts General Hospital" is actual history and not just a bunch of abstract ideals. and even talking about any actual historical event without descending into just an abstract river of ethics is doing really well in the United States.
