This affects the black community at a disproportionate level.

If you've ever worked on an Inner city school

You see all this on a micro level

Makes sense.

On a slightly related note, this is why circumcisions on baby boys as it is done here has always saddened me.

Folks will take a baby boy, fresh from the womb, and go cut a piece off of his body...so his first introduction to life on this side is pain, and a very extreme form at that...sometimes within the first week of his life...baby can't consent or resist.

This is normalized and I've heard people say it's better to do it when he's tiny because he won't remember it.

The body does though.

I wonder if certain hereditary diseases stem from genetically encoded trauma... truesay stress is a huge killer 🤔
