Melanincholy
A state of sadness caused by witnessing black people suffer.
Melanincholy is a result of systemic racism, the continuing economic inequalities, the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power, and last but not least, the police brutalities towards black people.

Black girl: Hey what's wrong? You seem down?
White man: I just watched a video of black man getting beaten to death by the cops. I feel sad, depressed, angry and I want to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.
Black woman: Ah, you're feeling melanincholy.
White man: Dude! That's exactly how I feel. Thank you for explaining my feelings to me. I feel so much better now. I'm going to post a black square on Instagram! #BLACKLIVESMATTER
Black Woman: That's amazing! What would we do without you.
