Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures

Isn't this code for "they're faking it"? Holy shit.

What book is this from?

    Blacks often report higher pain intensity

    plus

    Black people don't feel pain

    makes for a horrifying revelation of the depth of the impunity they feel when they enact violence and indifference on black bodies

    That particular falsehood has roots in America's history of slavery. From the same racist doctor who decided that slaves fleeing captivity had "drapetomania":

    Dr. Samuel Cartright, for instance, wrote that blacks bore a “[racist slur] disease [making them] insensible to pain when subjected to punishment”

    I came across this post on Reddit initially and one of the comments accompanying the thread pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter lmao

    Whites: cracker

    Whites are likely to request pain medication no matter the circumstance. In White mythology, pain medication is seen as sacred and is used in a ritual process called "getting high"

    Willing to admit and prone to exaggerate pain as it elevates their status to show others how much their life sucks

    Some Whites will reject medical procedures until traditional witchcraft practices such as "homeopathy" and "chicken noodle soup" are tried first

    According to White lore, persons with skin tones darker then uncooked pizza dough are subhuman animals. Whites are likely to reject medical attention from such persons and request a similarly melanin-deficient nurse or doctor to treat them

    They may ask for your birthday as they believe your whole-ass personality is determined by it according to their sacred calendar

    Will ask for the manager

    WTF, there are citation dates as late as 2009 in that book, meaning it was written after! This is on the same level of racist as when my brother found a 1940's biology book in a storage closet of our school that discussed

    CW racism
