Talking RACE in HOPE AND with COURAGE.
Photobucket

Most Americans believe that a solution to the nation's problems in race-relations would be resolved - a level of optimism that is essentially unchanged from a year ago, just before the election of the first African-American president, Barack Obama. As measured by the Gallup Poll, race rests at about the same level recorded when Gallup first inquired about the question of RACE in December of 1963. Among Black Americans surveyed, optimism about an eventual solution to race-relations problems actually has decreased since last summer - from 50 to 42 percent.
So we gather and build OUR COMMON GROUND.

    OUR COMMON GROUND October 24 - 9 pm ET "Post Traumatic Slavery

    Examining long-term, trans-inter-generational post traumatic slave syndrome in the context of contemporary family, youth, and social infras

    Examining long-term, trans-inter-generational post traumatic slave syndrome in the context of contemporary family, youth, and social infrastructure failures.

    Immoral anti-social and civic behavior; social

    dysfunction, mental and emotional illness, illiteracy and addictive behavior in the Black community. What are the roots ?


    Psychic trauma is defined as an inescapable event that overwhelms an individual’s existing coping mechanism. The stressors in PTSD could be markedly distressing to anyone and experience intense fear, terror and helplessness. Such gruesome situations experienced as being brutally raped or assaulted; in bloody hand-tohand combat; severely tortured in death camps; continuous bombing; trapped for several days in a deep mining tunnel; and other severe life-threatening situations in life.

    It’s irrelevant that you weren’t alive during slavery days. I wasn’t there either! But what we as a nation face today has been heavily impacted by our history, whether we’re talking in the gulf between the haves and have-nots; education gaps between white and black children; or the racial disparities in our prisons.


    The discussion will be base on the work of Dr Joy De Gruy on Post Tramuatic Slave Syndrome

    Dr. Joy DeGruy is a nationally and internationally renowned researcher, educator, author and presenter. Dr. Joy, as most know her, is a tell-it-like-it-is ambassador for healing and a voice for those who've struggled in search of the past, and continue to struggle through the present. A highly skilled and educated activist for social justice, Dr. Joy reaches people on the community level and has a captivating way of persuading others to search for a deeper understanding of themselves.

    Dr. Joy is the acclaimed author of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome—America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing, and the newly released, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: The Study Guide. In P.T.S.S.: The Study Guide, Dr. Joy revisits the topics she covers in P.T.S.S. and provides a detailed mapping of how you can begin the change process in your personal life, employment, family and in your community. She illustrates how—with thoughtful self–exploration—each of us can evaluate our behaviors and replace negative and damaging behaviors with those that will promote, ensure and sustain the healing and advancement of African Americans.
