Chronic stress can change your brain. Experiencing racism could make it worse.

Racial discrimination may increase stress, lead to health problems and hamper cognitive function for Black women, a new study finds.Black women who frequently experienced daily racism — including racial slurs, poor store service or forms of stereotyping — had 2.75 times the risk of poor subjective cognitive functioning than women who experienced lower levels of daily racism.

"People are much more willing having seen the evidence of all the things that are going on and learning what experiences of racism do to people's lives in terms of housing, education, job opportunity and interactions with police," Rosenberg said."What our studies show we have looked at racism in relation to other conditions and there is no doubt in my mind that racism has an adverse effect on people's health.

That’s a sound reason to end racism.

You are sick!

Nice! Found something else to be (fake) outraged about!

when the racism is going out of the news CNN always finds away for one of their writers to bring it back up again they have no real news but want to keep dividing us. they did this in 2016 and then what they stopped talking about well 2020 they start again ppl need to wake up

No shit! Now tell the African American community something they DON’T know.

Black People are strong! We’ve been dealing with racism from every nationality because of lies being taught in these so called places of worship. We don’t need your help. We got Christ, the one you hate.

It's the brainwashing they are getting that fucks up their head.

White people again shit to black people panties.... holy crap😂😂😂😂😂

The same with experiencing CNN

Weaponized stupidity.

THIS IS TOTALLY WHY WE MUST SUPPORT PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH AT THIS TIME OF TRAUMA!! EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO KINDNESS, EMPATHY AND COMPASSION!

Imagine living in a high crime area and seeing people and paid politicians call for defunding the police. Now thats stress.

BE KIND. I think constant exposure to racism puts a body into constant 'fight or flight' mode. How can a person relax, learn, work, when they are threatened, insulted, & attacked every single day, just trying to survive daily life? Could you live like that? Globally, millions do.

Does it have to be real or can it be made up? 🙄

That’s rich. News outlets profit on fear and division and then pretend to care about people’s cognitive health. Gaslighting

So couldn't making it all up in your head

What is the proportion of nonwhites to whites employed at CNN? Upper management?

We must remember that You are the Whole! I want to prove who is right? Energy is the Brotherhood Black and White, People got a lot of rights from God!
