All of the videos were powerful, and a good review of much that I knew. But some facts stood out that I learned for the first time. In the video on racism in medicine, it reported on a relatively recent survey of medical students, 25% of whom thought black skin was thicker, and Black people felt less pain. Also, the history of racist dehumanization of Mexicans at the boarder explained a lot about current ICE detention and abuse. It's not new, it's a continuation of white control over "non-white" peoples that means whites can continue to benefit.
There is much information that I knew in parts, certainly, but hearing it all at once and so clearly is beyond hard. I can't imagine the terror of living with it. But I wanted to comment on your commenting on the med students who are current and recent med students who STILL think what some of us would have thought would now be well documented as RIDICULOUS notions found only in history books labelled, "This is what we used to think, because we used to believe people of color were less than human." It's really both shocking and extremely sad to hear that, no, med students--and doctors--still believe it. It has to do with why black women, regardless of their economic status, have a much higher maternal death rate during birth. Doctors just ignore them, think their valid complaints of pain, et al, are just nonsense. Still, in 2020, not 1619.
