YOU HATE US SO MUCH IT'S KILLING YOU EP #185 - Is Being Racist Bad For Your Health? My Guess Is DuhDescription
In this episode of the Deron Harris Podcast, Deron explores the question of whether racism negatively impacts the health of those who hold racist beliefs. He begins by emphasizing the importance of mental health and encourages listeners to seek therapy if needed. Deron presents a growing body of research indicating that racism can lead to chronic stress, which in turn affects physical health. He discusses how the fight-or-flight response triggered by racist attitudes can elevate cortisol and adrenaline levels, leading to various health issues such as hypertension, heart disease, and a shorter lifespan.
Deron highlights studies showing that individuals with high racial resentment experience increased blood pressure and inflammation, which are linked to serious health conditions. He explains that chronic hostility and anger not only harm the targeted groups but also the individuals who harbor these prejudiced views. The episode delves into the psychological and physiological effects of racism, including its role in addiction and metabolic syndrome.
Throughout the discussion, Deron emphasizes that racism is not just a social issue but a health crisis that affects everyone, regardless of race. He argues that the stress and hostility associated with racism can lead to premature aging and a decline in overall health. The episode concludes with Deron urging listeners to recognize the detrimental effects of racism on both individuals and society, advocating for a more inclusive and understanding world.
