KayJay.. How about first revealing to us the correlation between this distinct version of paranoia and high blood pressure, etc? That should do for now..

the kid who sells the drugs is than arressted and they say were fighting the war on drugs but the next day there is another kid selling the same thing... they brainwash people into thinking that ****** or hood is a low level place...when in actuality its just a place where u live... now the regualr white citizen is not involved in all this...

We are involved. We buy the drugs from them and watch one after the other go to jail. All the while knowing the cops are using us to find the latest dealers but won't touch us so we've no reason to be afraid (that doesn't make us snitches, just knowing pawns in the hypocrisy).

the suburbs are no better the people there are up to their necks in bills... they just use a mental warfare to destroy ur thoughts and ur notion of getting ahead.... so to them if out of 10000 ...1 makes it that obviously serves their purpose... some may be racist but if they dont have the means to discriminate it dosent matter....

Great post

I read a bunch of studies but there don't seem to be any (I can quickly find) that deal with how white people perceive race, let alone comparisons between whites and blacks.

What there is a ****LOAD of is studies relating perceived racism to health. Blacks who claim to perceive racism more frequently have greater health problems (depression, high blood-pressure, etc.) than other blacks.

There's also a lot of stuff that relates pereived racism to other factors of racial identity, whicgh is all quite interesting though I won't try to repeat it here

That doesn't have to do with just racism though...if you have negative thoughts constantly running through your head, then it's a no brainer that you are going to have a lot of negativity or at least perceive that you have a lot of negativity in your life.

In case you can't open or for anyone who doesn't want to bother, here's the abstract:

Objectives. This study examined whether individual (self-perceived) and institutional (segregation and
redlining) racial discrimination was associated with poor health status among members of an ethnic
group.
Methods. Adult respondents (n = 1503) in the cross-sectional Chinese American Psychiatric Epidemiologic
Study were geocoded to the 1990 census and the 1995 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act database.
Hierarchical linear modeling assessed the relationship between discrimination and scores on the
Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 and revised Symptom Checklist 90 health status measures.
Results. Individual and institutional measures of racial discrimination were associated with health
status after control for acculturation, sex, age, social support, income, health insurance, employment
status, education, neighborhood poverty, and housing value.
Conclusions. The data support the hypothesis that discrimination at multiple levels influences the
health of minority group members. (Am J Public Health. 2002;92:615–623)

**** that study uses a sample of Chinese-Americans, but it discusses similar studies of blacjks, and these are easy to find online

The Schedule of Racist Events: A Measure of Racial Discrimination and a Study of Its Negative Physical and Mental Health Consequences
Hope Landrine
Public Health Foundation

Elizabeth A. Klonoff

California State University, San Bernardino

In this article, the authors develop a brief questionnaire that assesses racist discrimination in the lives ofAfricanAmericans, and conduct preliminary studies with it. The Schedule of Racist Events (SRE) is an 18-item self-report inventory that assesses the frequency of racist discrimination (specific, stressful racist events) in the past year (recent racist events) and in one's entire life (lifetime racist events), and measures the extent to which this discrimination was evaluated (appraised) as stressful (appraised racist events). Results revealed that the SRE has extremely high internal consistency and split-half reliability. Racist discrimination is rampant in the lives of African Americans and is strongly related to psychiatric symptoms and to cigarette smoking. These findings highlight the negative consequences of racismandprovide evidencefor the validity of the SRE as a measure of (culturally specific) stress.
