An expert in racial trauma, DrMonnica, spoke with WebMD about how to recognize the signs that you may be experiencing racial trauma, and how people who are not African American can help black friends, family members and colleagues:
Another wave of police killings of black Americans — George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, David McAtee — has stunned the nation and led to protests across the country. For African American people, repeated instances of discrimination and racism inflict distress and can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder, or, says Monnica Williams, PhD, an associate professor of Psychology at the University of Ottawa, in Canada.
You can think of it the same way you think of sexual harassment or bullying. If your boss makes a sexist remark to you, one instance probably isn’t going to harm you, but if you imagine that happening every day, and nobody paying any attention, or even believing you when you bring it up, and you’re powerless to make it stop, eventually you’re going to start to feel traumatized.This is being researched and studied. To me, it looks just like PTSD.
