racial battle fatigue

Racial battle fatigue is a term coined by professor William A. Smith that refers to the cognitive, emotional and physiological effects of being a person of color in environments that are both implicitly and explicitly racist.

Basically, it is the ways that racism has a negative effect on the psychology and physiology of people of color.

Physiological symptoms of RBF: tension headaches, backaches, elevated heartbeat, rapid breathing in anticipation of conflict, upset stomach, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, ulcers, elevated blood pressure. Psychological symptoms of RBF: constant anxiety and worrying, inability to sleep, sleep broken by haunting, conflict-specific dreams, intrusive thoughts and images, loss of self-confidence.

We have to protect our students from Racial Battle Fatigue by connecting them with people who will love and support them

Battle Stations

Battle Stations is an application on Facebook. Their boards are unmoderated, and the posters often leave their own forum because of the crappy gameplay value, and harass other applications for being "better" than them.
Sam: A bunch of trolls attacked Pet Society today, started calling me names and threw my Rainbow Poo at me. Then they made an account with my name and face and got me banned. :(

Chris: I bet I know the group, they're from Battle Stations.
