No black alive today can say they have lived through the suffering of their ancestors. They need to STFU and move on.

Well logically, that is impossible. But on a mental, social level - its not so far fetched. As for the medical claim the woman is putting forth - all opportunistic posturing. But its silly to suggest that the "effect of slavery" isnt out there - and not just Black slavery.

I just don't see why people are so adamant about trying to correct the past. There is not one civilization on this earth that has not used slaves, there is also not one race, or religion, that has not been slaves themselves. So by what she is saying, everyone is suffering from PTSS, except just not to the extent as blacks.
She also says you don't have to be in, or witness a traumatic experience to be effected by it. She then used 9/11 which in my mind does not really count. People in Washington state that had absolutely 0 ties to the 9/11 attacks can't in my mind claim PTSD from the attacks as they suffered no traumatic experience other than gaining the knowledge that there was an attack on their own country.
In my mind, what she is proposing is just so broad and encompasses so much and so many that it should not be called a disorder seeing how it effects everyone.

Even if the "effect of slavery" is out there, why are they looking for reparations from all white people? It's not like the entire country owned slaves.

what does this have to do with reparations?!
i swear to god whenever anyone brings up anything about slavery, everyone gets pissed at black people saying to 'put it behind them' etc... this article is simply expaining how this was addressed, and it makes perfect sense to me. perhaps it should not be associated with PTSS in any way, but it seems perfectly logical for some people to feel that their relatives were so badly abused that they themselves suffer stress from it. That is not too far-fetched at all

clearly you didnt read the article, the only 'handouts' they are looking for is for researchers to study the disorder |

Yeah I didn't read the article.
You made a good point though in the post I didn't quote. They're not taking my money or impacting me in any way, so it's hard to care. |
