I don't see it as a mental condition because in United States Society Blacks found a way to measure it, the Whites in power acknowledge it and United States Exucutive order 11246 (Affirmative action), a law states that it is factual. By far it is no mental condition. I can fathom how peoples in certan African and Caribbean countries can say the notion seems absurd but in non black majority nations there is white skinned privilege, Overt racism and outright racial disrespect in media, text and more. In the Black majority Countries it is Black folks Blocking your progress.

A mental condition is different, far different but one legacy aspect of Racism/oppression is the notion that people who are often sheltered from it will come to expect those acts to take place and as a result resort to self handicapping, it becomes part of the socialization process for both the White power structure and the Black oppressed. People will complain and give up without trying and more. I see it on this site with people saying Blacks should avoid college, they dismiss the positives of many Public school systems and usually suggest this without a viable alternative. We live in a Capitalist world where if we are not competing then we simply become the welfare class or perish. We can't give up, many people are doing this, I think Cornel West called it Nhilism. I'm for a fight, I'm for going into the classrooms and changing these practices, I'm for withhold Black dollars from the corporations that discriminate and I'm for voting these people wh are for the Status quo out of office or outright physically hurting them to get parity.

There is a difference
