Racial Gaslighting

Racial gaslighting is when Black, Indigenous, and people of color confront the ways they have experienced racism, and an individual, group, or institution (such as the media, legal system, or government) tries to make them doubt their experience, often to maintain control, avoid taking accountability, or conduct
normalized racial abuse.
