Aggressive reminder that the reason why schizophrenia is stigmatized as a dangerous and violent disorder is heavily linked with racism and anti-blackness as it was popularized in the 60’s as a diagnosis forced on civil rights protesters who refused to accept the rampant discrimination, marginalization and racism they faced in their daily lives. If you want to fight the stigma of schizophrenia, that MUST include fighting racism and anti blackness as the reasons why white and non black schizophrenics face so much hatred today is deeply entangled with its history as a tool of racist institutions.
