The shooting in Florida comes a year after a white man killed 10 in a racist mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo New York, and only a few years after a white man was convicted of killing 9 Black parishioners and pastors at a church in Charleston South Carolina.

Reset discusses ways for Black people to cope with trauma from the latest hate crime and analyzes language used to describe this incident to learn what the word choice reveals about current racial attitudes.
