Even if Mr. Minaj were being honest, the types of experiences he describes are much less common than they used to be. That's something to feel good about.

It says a lot about how far we've come that those who want to mine trauma at scale -- for example, the 1619 Project, the "stolen land statement" intoners, or the slavery reparations advocates -- have to go centuries into the past to find sufficiently rich motherloads. Instead of studying history, they're pasturbating.
