    Phase 4 involves the meanings and symbolism behind these aggressions, one of these messages being that the victim “does not belong” and that they are not normal, compared to the dominant group (77). Other messages that the victim feels are behind the microaggressions are that they are cognitively inferior, are unable to be trusted, and that everyone in that marginalized group is all the same (79). The final stage is “consequences and impact” and involves the psychological effects these aggressions leave. Some of these effects include powerlessness in controlling and dealing with the microaggression, and invisibility and underappreciation of the victim’s value. Another effect the victim feels is a loss of pride because they are forced to comply, or be silenced from reaction, in order to avoid these microaggressions, or avoid being accused of “overreacting” if they do speak out against them (81).…
