For any of you traumatized by the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, you’d do well to work for Levi Strauss.
In light of the jury’s decision, Powers That Be at the jeans giant have procured the service of a “racial trauma specialist.”
Elizabeth Morrison, Chief Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer, spoke out in an email obtained by The Daily Mail.
With the news that Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted in the shooting of three individuals — two of whom lost their lives — during racial justice protests last year, this is a difficult day for many.
Evidently, the court found that shootings involving four individuals, all white, were justified self-defense actions.
One of the three shot was pointing — by his own admission — a chambered 9mm round at Rittenhouse:
People in public have used powerful prose to describe the tragedy amid the media coverage.
Much has been made of Kyle employing the nation’s interstate road system, and many have reported erroneously that he was armed when crossing state lines.
As for notions of racism, they haven’t been particularly downplayed:
For those stressfully reacting to the verdict in light of either the facts or the media’s coverage, Levi’s has assistance on the way.

To help promote safety, sharing and to encourage healing, I’ll be hosting a fireside chat and Q&A with Dr. Jamila Codrington, a licensed psychologist and racial trauma specialist in early December.
The company’s also conscious of psychic side effects:
Our discussion will include Dr. J. and me discussing the psychological and mental effects of back-toback events in social and racial injustice and the trauma-coping mechanisms.

Jamila Codrington is a New York-licensed psychologist who has appeared on various panels, claiming that “black people have been duped into thinking we do not matter.” …
“One of the main weapons of colonialism and white supremacy was to destroy our memory and to separate us from our wealth – our cultural wealth,” she said. …
“We come from a legacy of people that our resilient, that were kings and queens, that were discoverers – we birthed civilization. And that is the first place of intervention because we have been duped into thinking that we don’t matter and all of this is coming from a legacy of enslavement and we have to defy this lie of inferiority.”
Back to fashionable pants, it’s a new era: Until relatively recently, corporations focused on making products Americans might want to buy.
These days, many business entities appear equally if not more interested in selling their point of view — on any and all social and political goings-on.

It seems that simultaneously, the world’s traditional ability to cope has been lost.
Of course, it’s reasonable that a travesty of justice — in elections or the courts — might trigger emotions.
Therapy might have not been necessary in the past.
As for last year’s “racial justice protests,” from what I can tell, that characterization isn’t positively apt.
2020 saw chaos in the streets — robbery, violence, murder, vandalism, and arson.
It is not clear why each participant took part. That’s impossible to say.
As a well-known film character once observed, “Some [people]…want to watch the world burn.”
And they don’t at all have the same reasons.
Evidently at Levi-Strauss some people are burning inside.
Their depression will also be treated by professionals.
It’s one more sign of the times — the denim icon, in fact, used to not only tolerate the blues…it Promoted them:
