Bishop's Corner | Shannon Sharpe | Racism Trauma





Racism trauma—also known as racial trauma or race-based traumatic stress—refers to the psychological and emotional harm caused by direct or indirect experiences of racism. It can affect individuals and communities across generations and is recognized as a real and serious form of trauma.


Key Features of Racism Trauma:

Source of Trauma:


Direct experiences: verbal abuse, discrimination, hate crimes, police brutality, etc.


Indirect experiences: witnessing racism against others, systemic inequalities, media coverage of racial violence.


Historical/Intergenerational trauma: the lingering effects of slavery, colonization, segregation, and ongoing marginalization.


Symptoms (can mirror PTSD):


Hypervigilance (constantly feeling unsafe or on edge)


Anxiety or depression


Sleep issues or nightmares


Anger or numbness


Avoidance of certain places or people


Low self-esteem or internalized racism


Impact Areas:


Mental and physical health


Academic and job performance


Personal relationships


Identity and self-worth


Who It Affects:


While anyone can experience or witness racism, people from racially marginalized groups—especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)—are most at risk.


Healing and Coping:


Therapy (especially culturally competent or trauma-informed care)


Community support and activism


Spiritual or cultural practices


Education and storytelling (breaking silence)
