Over at AfroSpear, there is a ongoing discussion as to the definition of racism and the idea that it is a form of mental illness. This discussion is a part of a wider discourse which is currently going on in the AfroSphere. It is enlightening as there are differing perspectives being presented. Here are the AfroSpear links.

Thanks for highlighting this. I’ve started a new blog called the American Journal of Color Arousal, to inform the AfroSpear and the general public about issues of Extreme Color-Aroused Emotion, Ideation and Behavior Disorder (ECEIBD), also known as Extreme Color Arousal (ECA). The Journal will also explore color arousal in general, including color aroused behavior that is positive and constructive (e.g. the AfroSpear); color aroused behavior that is benign; “mildly” disordered color-aroused behavior and “moderately” disordered color-aroused behavior.
By focusing with more scientific precision on these issues it is hoped that more research, diagnostic tools, referral mechanisms, treatment alternatives, resources and funding mechanism, can be developed.

It’s the American Journal of Color Arousal (AMJCA).
