Racial habits differ from prejudice and blind people to black suffering

Evidence

This isn’t a matter of racial prejudice. It stems from the belief that African Americans have been made resilient by racism. So black people can endure more pain than others. This can help us understand the deafening silence about the suffering and pain caused by the Great Black Depression. Racial habits render it invisible. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 167

Categorization

• DEFINE: Uses the Milano–Bicocca neural finding to sharply distinguish racial habits from racial prejudice — the reader’s core definitional need.
• XREF: Term ‘Great Black Depression’ echoes and builds on the economic framework established earlier in this book about the post-2008 black economic collapse.
