Day 7 Topic: Effects of Racism

  • An act of racism obviously is concerning at the moment it occurs, but that experience also can have a long-lasting impact.

    Racism doesn't have to be physically violent to be traumatic or felt to the core. Studies have shown that racism and discrimination can cause lingering psychological effects that can be linked to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is becoming more commonly diagnosed among members of marginalized communities.
