I define racial trauma as
being subjected to situations

where you are treated one way

and your white counterpart
is treated another way

for the same exact incident.

It's the unfair treatment
based on your color.

It's being devalued, being belittled,

underappreciated,

singled out unjustly.

I think it's just a combination

of all negative situations

that create this racial trauma.
