For the study, led by Nathaniel Harnett, Ph.D., director of the Neurobiology of Affective Traumatic Experiences Laboratory at McLean Hospital, researchers analyzed surveys and MRI brain scans of more than 7,300 White children and nearly 1,800 Black children in the U.S. who were 9 and 10 years old. They found Black children displayed small neurobiological differences reflected as lower gray matter volumes in the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex compared with white children.

“Our research provides substantial evidence of the effects structural racism can have on a child’s developing brain, and these small differences may be meaningful for their mental health and wellbeing through adulthood,” said Dr. Harnett, who is also an assistant professor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

You are probably right, because research shows time and time again that brain atrophy, especially the amygdala, is caused by extreme neglect at a very young age, not from peers in later years. I can't remember the study off the top of my head, but it involved bringing children into a room with a stranger, and seeing how they reacted when their guardian left the room. Abused or neglected children either didnt react at all, or were constantly sporadic whether their guardian was in the room or not, indicating a malfunction of their fear complex. Brain atrophy is pretty rare outside of congenital or genetic defects while in gestation as well, since our minds are constantly reforming connections that we injure from accidents and or traumatic events, so we never really "lose" gray matter the way they are trying to claim. If it was really caused by "racism", the amygdala would light up like a Christmas tree from fear, not atrophy like in the case of neglect or abuse, which would indicate that they have something bigger to fear than a meager racial insult.

I agree wholeheartedly. The problem is that a lot of helpful research gets put under the psychology umbrella, like our understanding of mental illness and how it affects us at a young age, which if medical intervention was done correctly without all the jewish cuckery, could actually have better outcomes and help us keep the actual crazies off the street. Sadly the field is lost, and what worries me is with how much the government is using "mental illnesses" as disabilities. With how relaxed the DSM-5 is on treatment (you can be marked as having severe depression after a close loved one dies, and it is almost impossible to remove it from your records, especially for your children), and if they keep following this trend, it could be an easy way to push down good people while letting actual crazies like trannies run free.
