It’s harmful to classify racism as a mental illness cause this will allow racist to get away with crimes easier cause they can plead it as a mental illness

we see white people plead insanity after shooting up a school or even a group of black people (Dylann Roof). They get away with it. So imagine if racists can argue that racism is a mental illness as well....imagine all the crimes they would get away with.

As a therapist, thank you for explaining this clearly to folks. It’s disrespectful to the ppl who actually live with a mental illness

Classifying it as a mental illness is so harmful:( and also takes away responsibility. Ppl with Tourette’s may say slurs but they know the slurs are harmful and don’t mean to yk ? Racist say slurs b/c they are harmful and want to harm you

And already white people use mental illness as a scapegoat to get away from their bigotry. Every time we see a mass shooter that decides to take it upon themselves to murder marginalized folks mental illness is brought up and they get soft sentences. It hurts all of us
