Hood Disease

[Tank]

OAKLAND (KPIX 5) — In the inner city, a health problem is making it harder for young people to learn. The Centers for Disease Control said 30 percent of inner city kids suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a medical condition that some observers outside the urban core have taken to calling “hood disease.”

The CDC said these children often live in the equivalent of a war zone. Doctors at Harvard said they actually suffer from a more complex form of PTSD. Unlike soldiers, children in the inner city never leave the combat zone. They often experience trauma, repeatedly.

Hood disease in just the latest excuse for black behavior

 

[TemplarKormac]

I can see that. It's paranoia to boot.

The way black folks act is natural, their is no "hood disease"

 

[TemplarKormac]

To be fair, not all black folks act that way at all. No need for stereotypes.

Not all, but most

So now it's a disease? Don't tell me, it's Whitey's fault, right?

Maybe they need to quit participating in the violence? Or move? Farming is a really good alternative to living in an "urban" environment. Oh...wait...farming is work.
