Racists really haven’t changed much at all in the past 160+ years. 😎
They still believe a Black person who believes in their own inherent worth as a human being & their god-given or legally protected rights should be dealt with harshly to put them ‘in their place’.
Isn’t that right, racists 😉

![Drapetomania is a pseudoscientific term coined in 1851 by American physician Samuel A. Cartwright to describe an alleged mental illness that caused enslaved Black people to flee captivity. It is a prime historical example of scientific racism and the pathologization of normal human resistance.
History and Context
Origin: The term is derived from the Greek words drapetes (a runaway slave) and mania (madness).
The "Diagnosis": Cartwright claimed that running away was an irrational disease. In his writings, he stated that the condition resulted from masters who "made themselves too familiar with [the enslaved], treating them on an equality" or treating them with undue harshness.
The "Cure": Cartwright's prescribed treatment for this supposed illness involved strict subjugation and physical punishment (whipping) to keep enslaved people compliant and submissive.
Historical Impact and Legacy
Medical historians and modern psychologists classify drapetomania as a tool of psychological warfare and dehumanization. It was used by white supremacists to explain away the natural, inherent desire for freedom as a medical defect rather than a logical reaction to oppression.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2h64y5ecg4443waz3czwljlx/bafkreib43htkusaj6objhmsdhkihiz23oqfehhpjvvanyopldfgez3z65i)
