George Floyd one year later 5/25/2020 and the dehumanization of black bodies being killed by police. We have this race base generational history and what it dose to our bodies and mental state. Over a period stemming since slavery called Epigenetic’s have been passed down through generations of these race base traumatic stress disorders and internal changes happening through your body right down to your DNA it is called ‘weathering’ developed by professor Arline Geronimus; like paint exposed to storms and rain and wind over time it cracks because its open and exposed to these changes, that is why as black peoples we need to take care of ourselves emotionally and mentally if we don’t we see increased cardiovascular disease, different types of cancers, high blood pressure etc it’s literally eating us up from the insides and the denial that this realities exasperates our depression and anxiety. Being aware of tools to help deal with these situations and combat them give us an overstanding at reimagining how we can have conversations when it comes to black and brown people in the changing demographics of white supremacy structures and systems. Cultural competency needs to be implemented in our training in law enforcement , judicial systems media institutions, social advocacy’s, educational institutions, political structures, medical facilities, military industrial complex’s , chid care, adoption facilities, society etc.total reform of the capitalist colonial structures.
