America Has Been Poisoned

[Note: Sometimes I have an idea that seems like a revelation to me, and I write it down, and once I finish writing it I think some people will look at it and say “how was this not obvious to you?” This may be one of those things, but since it was at least a revelation to me, I figure it’s worth publishing.]

If I were a slave owner, I have to imagine that I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. I would look at the things I was doing to people, and I would think “If I was them, I would kill me,” and I’d be constantly afraid. I might try to convince myself that the people I had enslaved were psychologically weak and therefore less of a threat, but I don’t think I would ever totally believe that. That fear would still always be there.

From what reading I’ve done on the history of the slavery era (which I’ll admit is limited) this seems to jive with the experiences of slave owners at the time. They were paranoid and often unhappy.

And when slaves were emancipated and I were a former slave owner, I don’t think my fear would go away, it would intensify. I would now be thinking that now that the former slaves can read, and buy guns, and walk around in groups, they might come looking for revenge. So my fear would be telling me that I should do everything in my power to suppress those freed slaves, to keep them poor and scared.

And even if I was able to successfully do that, I still wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night, because now I would think about all the horrible things I’m doing to black people to keep them poor and scared, and I would still be afraid of them coming for revenge. And this fear would pass on to my children and their children.

The moment you enslave someone, you start a cycle of fear and repression that keeps itself going. If you are the dominant ethnic and socioeconomic group, you suppress people because you are scared of them, and you are scared of people because you’ve suppressed them and fear they’ll come looking for revenge. The treatment of Black people in America is the most glaring example, but I could also talk about Native Americans, Mexicans, Chinese and poor working class people of every ethnicity. All have been feared by the ruling class in America, not because of anything they did wrong but because of what was done to them.

This cycle of fear and repression was/is the cause of Jim Crow laws, segregation, lynching, red-lining, voter suppression. It’s why marijuana was made illegal (it being thought of as a drug used primarily by Black and Latin people that might cause them to lose control of themselves). It’s why white people spent the last century fleeing from cities into suburbs and gated communities. It’s why the US government was so scared of a Black Power movement in the 1960s and 1970s that they sent undercover officers in to help create one so they could then kill and incarcerate members en-masse. It’s the cause of unparalleled militarization of the police and imprisonment of people in this country. It’s the cause of stand-your-ground laws, of white people so scared of Black people that they will call the police for help when a Black person so much as looks at them funny. It’s why “tough on crime” politicians do so well even when crime is, statistically speaking, the last thing we should be worried about. It’s why the Black Lives Matter movement, which seems like something every reasonable non-evil person should agree with, met such strong resistance. It’s why some politicians will vote against any measure that will uplift disenfranchised people, no matter how much good it would do to their own constituents.

The US spends about $100 billion a year on policing and $80 billion on incarceration (source), and the reason we pay so much more than other countries is because white Americans want the criminal justice system to protect them from scary Black people. At that price, we could send each Black person in the US a yearly $4,864 check with “we’re sorry, please don’t hurt us” in the memo line.

And, for the majority of white Americans, it’s not even a matter of hatred or dislike. I think most white Americans genuinely like and admire Black people, at least from afar. If I had to distill the attitude of white people towards Black people in the United States today, I’d say it’s “We’re so sorry for slavery and discrimination, and we love your contributions to the culture, but stay the fuck away from me because you scare me.”

The solution, I think, is to acknowledge that we, as a country, have a problem. We have to admit that we’re scared, and we don’t want to be, and that we’re perpetuating a state of affairs that is unjust and unsustainable, and that the greatest gift we can give to future generations is to end this self-reinforcing cycle so that those future generations can live without oppression and without living in fear of the oppressed.

i search the universe.

| order no. | 5/21

| summary | Are ‘exploring’ and ‘being hopelessly lost’ synonyms? According to Jongin, they most definitely are.

| word count | 1.9k

| warnings | mentions of kidnapping but it’s just an old lady looking out for Aria when she’s with two very suspicious looking older men, sasaengs

| era | circa. January 2020

a/n: this definitely took a turn from the request, but i hope you still like it! if you’re not vibing with it, you can dm me, and i’ll see what i can re-write. thank you!

The tour was set to kick off again in San Diego, California, after a pause for the duration of December. The time off was greatly appreciated; Aria found herself sleeping for twelve hours at a time occasionally, her sleep schedule trying to right itself after having been flipped on its head too many times to count.

The flight from Seoul to California was long, and Aria had slept for a grand total of twenty minutes by the time they touched down on the tarmac runway again.

It had been Jongin’s idea to go exploring before their first schedule that evening, an invitation that was proposed to all the members but only accepted by Taemin. When Jongin’s deflated look was fixed on Aria, she crumbled like the weak woman that she was, and agreed to accompany the two older men on an impromptu trip around the city.

She’d never even left Ireland prior to joining the company (bar skating competitions, but those were less of a trip and more of a airport-taxi-hotel-rink-repeat combo, if you will) so each new city was met with widened eyes and dramatic oohs and aahs.

The trio had dropped their suitcases into their hotel rooms - Jongin rooming with Taemin this time around, and Aria with Ten - and pulled out a light jacket for outerwear, in Aria’s case, before they were marching out the door, masks pulled up over their faces.

Aria’s hoodie that she had worn on the plane lay on the bedspread in her room, her phone forgotten in it’s pocket.

The air was cool but not biting outside, and as Aria linked her hand into Taemin’s, the sun was still above the horizon. Jongin slipped his phone back into his pocket.

“The interview is scheduled for 6, which means we need to be back at the hotel for 4, which gives us,” He checked his watch, “Roughly two hours. Maybe a little more, if we push it.”

Taemin fixed him with a look. “Let’s not do that. It’s twenty to two now, lets aim to be back for twenty to four.”

Aria tugged on Taemin’s hand where the singer had still yet to let go. “Mhm! that way, if things go skywards, then we have time to take a back route or something.”

Jongin nodded, satisfied. “Okay! So, where first?”

Aria exchanged a look with Taemin, before starting down the street. “Let’s find out!”

With each building, came a new attraction to stare at. Small stalls sat at the street corners, attendees calling out to them to barter their goods. The buildings seemed to climb into the sky for miles, never-ending as far as Aria’s eyes could see.

The city was bustling with noise, cars passing on the wide streets with sharp beeps! that sent Aria jumping into the air occasionally, much to the chagrin of Jongin.

He caught her waist when she jumped backwards the first time, stopping her from flattening him onto the sidewalk. “You alright there?” He leaned forwards with a teasing grin.

Aria had huffed, swatting his hands off her waist before fixing her shirt. “Fine.”

The grin had stayed plastered on Jongin’s face for the next two blocks, widening further when the girl jumped again at the sound of a harsh tire squeal and a series of rapid-fire beeps following it.

Taemin lead the two away from the commotion, and they continued their in-depth exploration of the city and it’s secrets.

It was wonderful; Until it wasn’t.

Honestly, they probably should have realized when they started being followed. It happened regularly on the streets back home, but here, they were off-guard and so the first flash of a shutter going off send Taemin stumbling backwards slightly.

All hell broke loose from there.

A group of fourteen or fifteen teenage girls gathered, the leader of which had her phone gripped in her hand. “KAI OPPA!” She screamed, and like a battle cry - the others joined her.

Aria felt frozen, her legs refusing to cooperate with the frantic run, run, run run run that her brain was playing on a loop. The group advanced quickly, moving around the street corner and were only a few yards away when Jongin grabbed her wrist, fingers encircling tightly, and pulled her into motion.

They ran on autopilot, blind as to where they were going only knowing that they couldn’t stop. The pounding of feet was still deafening behind them, and Jongin speeded up, Taemin following suit.

It wasn’t long until Aria felt like she was doing less running and rather simply being tugged along by her wrist; legs pumping as fast as she could made them, but her strides were nearly double what she’d normally take even at a flat out sprint.

Taemin tugged them both into a small alleyway, hoping that the shade the towering buildings offered on either side was enough to shield them from the fangirls’ piercing gazes.

Aria bent over, hands on her knees, panting.

“Oh god,” Jongin coughed out. “Not a single day, huh?”

Taemin nodded sadly in commiseration, catching his own breath. “How did they even know it was us?”

“The hair, probably,” Aria mumbled, already pulling her hair back into her hood. The bleached blonde and sky blue streaks combination was a tell-tale sign, and she kicked herself mentally for not at least putting her hair up into a bun to hide the most dramatic parts of it.

“What do we do now?” Aria looked to the two older men. “Do we just try to make a run for it? I don’t think I can remember which way we even went, we were just running. Oh god, are we lost now? Can we even get back to the hotel?”

Taemin extended an arm, wrapping around Aria’s back and pulling her into a hug, before subtly moving them both behind a large sign that blocked them from view.

The group of girls passed by the entrance to the alley, chattering loudly.

“Where did they go?”

“Did you see which way they went?”

“Taeminnie oppa~ Saranghae, come back~”

“Who was the

“Okay,” Taemin took a deep breath. “Okay, we’ve done this before. My phone died somewhere back there, but Aria, do you want to call Baekhyun hyung while Jongin tries to figure out where we are?”

He received two nods in return, and Aria’s hands patted her pockets. The empty lining gave underneath her fingers, and her stomach sunk slightly in dread.

“My phone isn’t-” She looked up to Jongin with wide eyes. “I left it in the hotel room, I think, when I changed my jumper.”

Jongin put a hand on her shoulder, rubbing soothingly. “It’s okay, we still have mine.”

Aria’s breath was coming in slightly labored, with a light tremor that shook her chest.

The ringing sounded loud as it echoed down the alley, and Jongin scrambled to turn the phone on silent.

“What?” Baekhyun’s voice was tinny through the phone’s speakers, and Jongin moved down towards the end of the alley, out of Aria and Taemin’s earshot.

“Hyung,” Jongin spoke, heavy with relief.

“What? You’ve just woken me up-” Jongin interrupted Baekhyun before he could start yelling down the phone.

“Hyung, we got followed.”

“By who?”

“Fans, we think. They spotted us a couple streets ago, we ran and now we don’t know where we are.”

A muttered curse came down the phone line, and what sounded like Baekhyun shutting a door. “Right, find out where you are, and I’ll get the manager to come get you lot. This is why I said no to going out, you’re all tired and then things like this happen Jongin-”

“Hyung! I know, and I’m sorry you can scold me for it later, but right now,” He tossed a glance over his shoulder to Aria, who was encircled in Taemin’s arms. “Aria’s freaking out, and I’m not sure why, but I don’t think hiding in an alley is helping.”

Baekhyun was silent, breathing out another curse. “Taeyong, he told me - it happened a while ago, and he didn’t tell me a lot, but enough.”

“Hyung?”

“Aria had a bad, altercation, lets say, with a sasaeng two years ago. I don’t know what exactly happened - Yongie didn’t tell me - but I’ll bet that’s why she’s freaking right now. Maybe just-”

The line cut out.

Jongin shook his phone, clicking the power button. “Hyung? Hyung?”

Taemin looked over. “Is everything alright?”

“Phone’s dead.”

Aria’s head peeked up, wide eyed. “Really?”

Jongin nodded.

“So- so what do we do? Did you talk to oppa?”

He bit his lip. “Yeah, yeah I did. We’re gonna go find another store that’ll let us use their phone okay? And we’re gonna call the manager.” He turned to Aria. “Do you think you could talk to someone right now, Ari? Is that okay?”

Aria took a deep breath, closing her eyes and exhaling smoothly. “I can do that. I can definitely do that.” The tremor in her hands told otherwise, but she tucked them into her pockets to hide that fact.

“Okay. Okay, let’s go.” Taemin peered around the alley walls, looking and seeing no gang of girls waiting to pounce on them.

The trio stepped out from behind the building walls, and quickly jogged their way into the nearest café - two storefronts down.

“Miss? Miss, I’m so sorry to bother you, but could I borrow your landline for a moment? My own phone’s dead, you see.” Aria cleared her throat, peering up at the kind lady behind the counter.

Her wizened eyes took in the small stature of Aria, and the two men standing at the doorway, peering outside. They looked suspicious; hoods pulled low over their eyes, and masks hiding the bottom half of their faces, staring out the window as if they were waiting for someone to show up; and they were ready to flee.

Slowly, an understanding dawned on her - connecting the wrong dots together and garnering a jumbled up picture of the truth.

“Oh, dear of course, just come behind here and I’ll call someone for you - do you have your mother’s number with you? Your father’s?” She began to usher Aria behind the counter.

“Oh, no, miss, that’s alright, I just need to use your phone for a moment-”

The lady leaned closer. “Dear, if those men are trying to take you somewhere, you’re absolutely welcome to stay in the back room. Do you want me to call the cops?”

Aria choked. “Oh! Oh no- oh those are my brothers miss! They’re not- I haven’t been-”

The lady looked on with squinted eyes. “They can’t hurt you dearie, you’re safe now-”

“No, I promise you miss, they’re my brothers, they just don’t speak very good English. Can I please use your phone? Please?” Aria was begging at this point.

Reluctantly, a phone was handed to her, and she wasted no time in inputting Baekhyun’s number. It rang once, before being picked up.

“Oppa?”
