I forgot to touch upon some of the mandatory prompts for blog #2 and instead i went on to talk about the photos of the lynchings and how it made me feel about the stagnant social views that this country still predominantly holds(hopefully this blog still counts). When it comes to Zizek's terms on violence, such as "subjective" and "objective" and which one pertains to white supremacy and lynchings it would have to be objective violence since it was/is ingrained into the social structure of generations of white American bigoted families.
*Subjective violence is violence that is actively done, which can be attributed to a certain subject; the event of one person perpetrating harm on another
*Objective violence is the violence that always-already exists and maintains the social fabric that subjective violence interrupts.
*Systemic Violence (which branches off of objective violence) is the catastrophic effects of economic and political systems
