    The notion of shared suffering becoming mistaken as culture rings so true! The paradigm of physical violence on children as effective parenting (ie the chancla in Latin American culture) is something that we collectively believe in as important to “toughen up” kids and educate them. It is interesting that we take this violence as something that we need to pass on, as a trauma response.

    It breaks down the body and the mind. I'll just say know matter where I'm at I'll position myself in a room with my back against the wall and know the fastest way out of the building, even if that means going threw a closed window in order to keep myself safe. Also I'll know what I can use and pick up in an environment to protect myself. I am Hyper vigilant all the time. I have PTSD and Insomnia. It's not safe for me to sleep at night even though my partner tells me I am safe now. I also scream and physically fight in my nightmares because I'm protecting myself. I physically act out my nightmares. I am safe but my body and mind is alway on Hyper vigilant . It's exhausting. I've been this way for a long time. I'm 51yrs old and I'm tired and I need to change. I need to do this work to change. Peace and Love to you all.

      Literally every species in the world has passed down “trauma” to their off spring. Why do they think every species instinctively knows who their predictors are…some species like rats can actually smell their predators. It’s passed down through dna and it’s basic science. I think they just refuse to acknowledge it when it comes to black people and other people of color.

    I think how society treated black people back in the days was horrible and it still affects there rights and how they act today. white folks never ever gone through something as terrible as that. I live in the Netherlands and we occupied Suriname and we still have a lot of families living here and from that time of opression you still see the damage it has done to the suriname people. girls with that etnicity still don’t say a lot in school here because of what happened back in the day. that is what he means right? It is horrible. The only thing we as white people can do is really be open and listen to black people and their stories. Otherwise we will never ever understand and sympathize. Without that we will never solve this problem. And believe me i think 90 procent of white people don’t think this problem exists because they simply never dealt with it themselves. For those folks.. wait till you hear the stories of racism and discrimination yourself. It will shock you. You won’t even know how to react. It hurts me a lot that I live in a society where racism still happens every day. White privilege and comfort exists and it hurts me to see how many white folks think that is bullshit.

      I also think denial is with Americans who don't want change, which is why they don't sympathize. They don't want to give up their comfort to benefit someone else. A mass entitlement. What african americans are asking isnt even much though, they just want to be listened to 🥺

      @@queenme7401 Yes it is true. I hope someday.. There is a great discomfort from both ‘sides’ and we need to get through that. As white folks we need to take it in and recognize what we never recognized. For white people this will feel like admitting something and that is exactly what it is. There comes a lot of discomfort with this but I think if enough people talk about it (also white people) we will eventually make it happen. Especially with the youth we can try. Have conversations about racism and discrimination really early on. So kids can already start to sympathize. Kids don’t see colors. Also me (I’m 21) started looking into this problem a lot more the last year and also trying to spread awareness. This generation can hopefully mean something. At least I’m going to try. I want to make a difference even though it is just my family who will try to learn and understand black history and white comfort and privilege. I hope more people will do this. Just start a conversation about this issue or straight up ask someone who dealt with racism and discrimination how they feel or what they been through. Of course there are more factors but I wish everyone just talked to one another. And I have no clue if it’s going to get better in America but I can hope right? Not only for American also for my own country and for the whole world. I know it will never disappear but if everyone had more knowledge we are 1 step further.

      The terms he used are indeed real and clinically accurate, it’s how he presents this narrative that trauma is inheritable is what’s being scrutinized, because that’s not how the human brain works. There is no cognitive mechanism that enables the inheritance of stress related trauma, while altered brain chemistry can be inherited (which is still a subject of debate) this is by no means unique to any given racial demographic and can be found in all people.

      If you’d bothered to have looked at my retort posted above you’ll not that the findings of that particular study was flawed and had a sample size so small that a positive correlation was inevitable.
      Recent trauma in no way lends credence or validation to his ludicrous theory that trauma is hereditary. No scientific or clinical experiment/study has indicated that trauma is hereditary.
      This is not a matter of social sensibilities it is about science and purely that. I don’t give two shits if your black, white, red, blue or purple! The color of your skin doesn’t give you any particular insight into the biological mechanisms responsible for hereditary characteristics, it doesn’t matter if I’m not black my understanding of basic psychological mechanisms gives me credence to speak upon the subject.

    White woman here. The science can be argued because we have uneven standards of science in this country and sometimes the science proved what we already know to be true. What cannot be argued are the results of Mr Menakem’s work. I have been engaged in somatic healing work for several years now and then applied his techniques. Our personal healing cannot be divorced from how the “Whole” (family, ancestors, history culture) has been a part of us. I’ve found connections between inherited personality traits which were noted responses to trauma (thanks to a family line with detailed written history) and my role in upholding what he calls “white comfort.”And I am healing and from healing I am thinking and behaving differently. I see differently. This has been such a profound gift. reading and learning cognitively only goes so far in creating change. I could know the “right” things and have a heart that laments in facing the reality of it all, but until I got to the triggered body responses (that didn’t make any sense given all of the “work” I’ve done) I didn’t truly have a way forward. I couldn’t see my “part” beyond joining one side of an argument about whether racism exists. This work has taken me out of reactive action and put me in a place of real change...starting with me. At this point, I see what I didn’t before, so I am on this path for the long haul. Thank you to the scientists and experts of somatic trauma healing and to Mr Menakem who sees and write and speaks to us about a real way forward. A way that honors all of us in our humanity and doesn’t flinch at being honest about what we’ve all been thru and where it’s brought us. That’s why it works. It honors the human process. There’s no shame in that. There’s just work to do.

      I have issues with the video. It's too vague on some concepts and keeps it at a surface level. But the concepts and understanding of trauma caused by racism is an important topic.

    Picture, if you will, seven tiny faucets within the human body: one each for adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol and one each for dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins. The first three are what I call my "nasties", because they make me feel horrible when their faucets open, and they cause fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses. The last four are my "warm fuzzies" because when their faucets are open, I want to linger, to continue in the arms of loved ones, to enjoy the safe harbor from the storms of life, which ARE inevitable.
    Preemptive anxiety post trauma is the result of the first three faucets never fully turning off. As a consequence, these "nasties" leak a little, they drip adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol into my blood as they override my "warm fuzzies".
    I have lived my entire life in preemptive anxiety caused by the indoctrination of my country as well as the teachings of my father, who was a racist, a bigot and a misogynist. Because I knew that both my country and my father were wrong about damn near everything, I have found myself in a free-fall of cognitive dissonance, you know, between a rock and a hard place. I have yet to stop the pull of gravity, which only ceases with impact.
    Does this self-knowledge, this knowledge of my species, stop the constant fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses? Not entirely. I am still hypervigilant and hypersensitive; how- ever I am NOT the racist, the bigot, the woman hater, that I was raised to be and had become. I have recoded most of my DNA, and at 71 years young, I wish only to live peacefully, without judgement from myself or on me. As best as I could I have closed and reopened the appropriate "faucets" of my being in an effort to become truly human, as I was at birth.
    I wish no one my life, even though my growth into being human has been exhilarating and rewarding. I do wish we could eliminate intentioned trauma, here read, "made by others". I do wish that all of us can work toward compassion for ourselves and others. I suppose this is the age-old cliche of "love one another". Con mis abrazos y besos a todos.

    Don’t be confused there is a huge difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist or a psychologist. The first requires no medical training or clinical experience the latter two examples are recognized tightly regulated medical fields with standards. His title “racial trauma specialist” means nothing, that is not a recognized branch of psychology.
    Now there is precedent to the argument that brain chemistry resulting from trauma can be genetically passed down but that isn’t unique to any race. Any person subjected to unusually high levels of stress can be subject to that genetic characteristic. However, it is by no way unique to black people so there is no point in citing it to support some kind of race based genetic deficiency.
    This man’s argument is conjecture not science. It is more speculation than it is science. It’s absolutely ridiculous, and I’m surprised that any institution has given him a position to propagate such outright falsehoods.

      What’s “absolutely ridiculous” is that the man has set a goal in mind and is using pseudo science to support his claim. He is in no way an expert on the field and shouldn’t be presenting himself as such as it leads to the impression he knows what he’s talking about. There is no inheritable “trauma gene” that’s not how it works. Trauma related mental disorders are not genetic and are induced by episodic causation events that lead to whatever mental disorder.
      He notes that brain chemistry can change and can be hereditary, and while that it is true it is not unique to black people or “descendants of slaves” and in fact can be found in any array of people having faced hardships. So this isn’t really a matter of black people being so damaged by society it has become hereditary, this is more of a matter concerning social change. But the framing of the video suggests that there is something deeper than there actually is, that’s why it’s “absolutely ridiculous”.

    This is complete BS and I love watching VICE for its purposeful opinion videos that are really a disconnect from real America. No one here is an expert other than from their own reality and what fits that reality. It’s certainly not mine.
    I’m a 53 year old black male. One of three children to a 80 plus year old black mother from Nebraska who was raised in Compton and an 80 plus year old black dad raised in Watts. They are still together from having met in high school.
    Off topic and to my point…
    I am light skinned with Hazel eyes. Our parents put us in private from day one and then wanted us to attend the public school system starting in 6th grade. All three of us followed through in this format.
    Do you want to know where the RACISM came from (that I experienced) and how bad it still exists today? I’ll let you guess…it wasn’t/isn’t from “The White Man”.
    The best part is that the way our parents raised us we had the strength to endure it and to work with it and through it.
    I'm glad my parents gave me the brains to allow "Logic", "Emotion", "Common Sense" and "Intellect" to meet at a 4 way stop and proceed without an incident.
    We were not programmed to think that somehow and someway that we were less than or better than any other member of society…the beauty of perspective is that I am one of few people who can speak authoritatively about Black on Black racism and not be traumatized, bitter, angry, jaded or any other verb or adjective.
    Well, I can be saddened by people whom have been programmed or are ignorant.
    Anyways, This BS here in this video is for people with tunnel vision.

      I went to three private schools and three public schools.
      None of which has nothing to do with all years of living, working, engaging, creating, helping and demonstrating positive living and self worth, common sense, intellect, personal responsibility..etc on my way to being a 50 plus year old male who is a contributor to society.

It was fine and dandy during the 30-60s then all the sudden all the men decided to sell drugs and join gangs... so you telling me there were no external factors that played a role? It’s was just personal responsibility up the ass all the way despite the clear wealth discrepancies many faced. Yea.. everyone sure can “personal responsibility”yourself into a suburb.

      Vengeance and Hate displaces the space for things that help move us forward. However,
      Those that want to move society towards a specific realm have and are doing a great job at having pawns navigate the chessboard.
      There is a bigger picture here and I’m not falling for looking backwards to find a way to exact someones else’s psychological tactics to have a sense of purpose.

      Yes, the amount of comments of people being pissed off is crazy for someone just speaking their own experience. If it was a white dude offering their thoughts on trauma the comments would not be anything like this. None of the white dude trauma experts saying hard to take in things about trauma get these kind of comments except for a small minority of the posts.

And his argument that black people are inherently fearsome of police officers is absolute bullshit, fears of social concepts is more of a learned understanding rather than a natural instinct.

      I know of the study you speak of and if you’ll recall the findings of that study was denounced as it did not adhere to clinical standards and had a severe fault in its minute sample size. As well as the fact that all the mice were siblings and thus were prone to share similar cognitive reactions to the given stimulus.
      Several criticisms were reported, including the study's low statistical power as evidence of some irregularity such as bias in reporting results. Due to limits of sample size, there is a probability that an effect will not be demonstrated to within statistical significance even if it exists. The criticism suggested that the probability that all the experiments reported would show positive results if an identical protocol was followed, assuming the claimed effects exist, is merely 0.4%. The authors also did not indicate which mice were siblings, and treated all of the mice as statistically independent.
      The results of that study were flawed as the sample size was so small a positive correlation was bound to happen and wasn’t indicative of any actual epigenetic change.
      That’s the problem with charlatans like the man above, he cherry picks studies regardless of their credibility and that presents a dangerous precedent.

      “The vagus nerve serves as the body's superhighway, carrying information between the brain and the internal organs and controlling the body's response in times of rest and relaxation. The large nerve originates in the brain and branches out in multiple directions to the neck and torso, where it's responsible for actions such as carrying sensory information from the skin of the ear, controlling the muscles that you use to swallow and speak and influencing your immune system....
      By wandering and branching throughout the body, the vagus nerve provides the primary control for the nervous system's parasympathetic division: the rest-and-digest counterpoint to the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response. When the body is not under stress, the vagus nerve sends commands that slow heart and breathing rates and increase digestion. In times of stress, control shifts to the sympathetic system, which produces the opposite effect.”
