FACTS!!!!Again you prove my point. Nothing whites here say about us is race baiting in your view. But let a black person post a racist policy or statement by whites and you start whining about race baiting. White males are mowing themselves down too in virtually equal percentage and you spend your time ignorantly talking about blacks. STEM schools aren't considered racist because they expect people to use logic and facts. Logic and facts are your enemy lady. That's all part of your white racist groupthink.
Racism creates psychological damages that you don't seem to think exists. You run your mouth off without studying the problem. That's why I say you're ignorant. You have the luxury to run off at the mouth because you wake up white every day and do not have to use strategies to stop you from buying a automatic weapon, walking into a crowd of white people and opening fire.
You talk shit on blacks daily while the historical record of whitey shows that many of you are everything you claim we are. Some are worse, yet you try telling us that documented history, continuing occurrences and attitudes we read from people like you don't exist. Fortunately far many more whites aren't bottom of the barrel uneducated racist idiots.
“Bryant-Davis and Ocampo (2005) noted similar courses of psychopathology between rape victims and victims of racism. Both events are an assault on the personhood and integrity of the victim. Similar to rape victims, race-related trauma victims may respond with disbelief, shock, or dissociation, which can prevent them from responding to the incident in a healthy manner. The victim may then feel shame and self-blame because they were unable to respond or defend themselves, which may lead to low self-concept and self-destructive behaviors. In the same study, a parallel was drawn between race-related trauma victims and victims of domestic violence. Both survivors are made to feel shame over allowing themselves to be victimized. For instance, someone who may have experienced a racist incident may be told that if they are polite, work hard, and/or dress in a certain way, they will not encounter racism. When these rules are followed yet racism persists, powerlessness, hyper vigilance, and other symptoms associated with PTSD may develop or worsen (Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2005).”

The psychological impact of racism must be paid attention to if there is ever going to be a true and logical reduction in the behavior. This is mainly due to a refusal to accept that certain behaviors done by nonwhites are caused by white racism. Racism causes chronic stress. Understanding this has serious implications for health outcomes in the black community. While I am not a doctor, what I have read by medical professionals explains how constant stress will create unhealthy outcomes. The continuing racism blacks face keep blacks stressed out and creates chemical imbalances within our bodies causing a wide variety of health problems.
If you study abuse, it has been shown that specific types of abuse can cause different types of behaviors ether positive or negative. I, like many other blacks, have discussed racism with whites in person to person interactions, social gatherings, online forums, message walls, chat rooms and other social media. I have tried to inform on the impact of racism from the perspective of being black. What I discovered is that a lot of whites really do not have understand what racism can do to a person. For example, you try explaining to a white person that a certain behavior was caused by racism and that person just cannot believe it. So many who have not experienced the feelings that hit a black person or anyone of color when they experience a racist incident are willing to speak as experts on what they believe cannot happen. Yet if you talk to this same person about child abuse, sexual abuse or other types of abuses, they are more than able to talk about the behaviors that can result. But racism, well that’s just something you can easily get beyond. Meanwhile every other type of abuse is a lifelong struggle for the person who must deal with it.
Racism includes and has included these things:
- Emotional/Psychological abuse
- Financial abuse
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Verbal abuse
- Spiritual abuse
Tremendous psychological damage has been inflicted on nonwhites because of the racist policies and individual actions by whites in America and worldwide. But some whites seem to think that racism is simple and that it carries no psychological consequences to those who are the victims of it.
“On occasion, the emotional weight of racism can lead African Americans to engage in maladaptive coping, such as remaining in denial, engaging in substance use, aggression, self-blame – even in extreme cases suicide (i.e., Black Lives Matter activist Marshawn McCarrel) and terrorism (i.e., Dallas shooter Micah Xavier Johnson). These responses are harmful and lead to negative, long-term consequences.”You're an imbecile with no knowledge of what racism does. It's because you don't live with it. So your opinion is irrelevant. The fact that it is will not stop you from posting your retarded scrabble, but from this point on you are going to get educated.

Findings from large-scale national studies indicate that, while African Americans have a lower risk for many anxiety disorders, they have a 9.1% prevalence rate for PTSD, compared to 6.8% in Whites (Himle et al, 2009). That means that almost one in ten Black people becomes traumatized, and I think these rates may actually be higher since diagnosticians are usually not considering the role of racism in causing trauma (Malcoun, Williams, & Bahojb-Nouri, 2015).
