Is Racism Behind Mental Health Crisis?
There is mounting evidence that racial discrimination can occur even absent racial bigotry, either overt or covert. So for instance, when a family is dealing with someone who is in the midst of a mental health crisis, they may try and reach out for help to someone at a hospital. And people without money, the only place they have to call when it gets really bad is nine one one. Nine one one has three options, a fire ambulance or badget a gun. It just doesn't have to be bigotry, right? Bigotry and prejudice that's inside. I want us to get that racism is that pattern of behaviors out in the world.
