I had someone try to explain that to me. She said we can get rid of racism by ignoring slavery.

So ignore 400 years of history? Lol.

Now people want to release stories about the" STRESS" black people feel living with and fighting racism. It's amazing how much we hold in, we are truly a strong people.


Black people, on the other hand, do suffer actual mental health issues due to racism. Here are a few things to keep in mind as the media digs into Roof:

• Black people are often expected to “shift” away from our cultural identities, which can heighten our vulnerability to depression and other psychological issues, as well as cause us to internalize negative stereotypes.
• Racial discrimination, according to The Atlantic, increases the risk of stress, depression, the common cold, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, hypertension and mortality -- all of which exist at high rates in my community.
• Race-related stress is a stronger risk factor for mental duress than stressful life events are.
• Black people’s physical health takes a hit as well due to the perception that whites want to keep us down.
• Racism created socioeconomic barriers that also can be detrimental to black mental health.
• For black women, the common “strong black woman” trope leaves no room for mistakes, which can force black women to internalize perfectionist tendencies in terms of our professional and academic work, our bodies (which are held to European standards) and our social lives. This leads to a tendency to not seek help and, in turn, heightened suicide rates.

More proof this is a system designed to destroy black people in one way or another. Whether microagression or macroaggresion.

Until White America addresses the horrors of Jim Crow and Slavery. We are going to be going in circles. White America just won't accept it's racist past. It's clear by everyone's denial today in the media. They have convinced themselves a Flag of Racist History actually is about "Pride". They had PRIDE in being racist.

Ignoring history or racism doesn't make it go away.

Say I have a cancerous cell in my body. If I ignore it...does it go away? Should I be surprised when I reach a terminal diagnosis?

@theworldismine13 yes

Yeah, we should split our vote, the notion that democrats are on our side just because they are less blatantly racist is retarded
