The shocking election of President Donald Trump following a campaign characterized by hateful and divisive rhetoric has left many people fearful. In this essay the authors recount their story about the difficulties they encountered trying to disrupt the normalization of white experience through a local community policing initiative in their liberal Northeastern community. They describe how discourses shaped and controlled conversations about race privileging the police over the policed and white over the other.
