What a strange article article!!! This is propaganda and demagoguery!
When you wear ideological racism glasses like this silly and obsessed author, then everything looks like racism!
This article is about electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT.
The first comment and so far only comment (as of 1/26/2022, 15:15 MST) to this article states:
"... Having said that, I am a white woman with thick, dense, coarse curly hair; short of shaving a spot, an electrode would never adhere to my scalp.Perhaps my ECT has been administered incorrectly all of these years without having been connected via scalp electrodes. ..."
"As a Black woman with long, poofy hair, I was delighted to see Oregon join California and 11 other states that have passed laws against hair discrimination. In those states, workplaces and educational institutions can no longer legally discriminate against Black people for their hairstyles and hair texture. ...
That’s why people with Afro-textured hair would be encouraged to, as the psychiatrist I was observing said, either change their hair or be disqualified from using the unilateral form of ECT with fewer side effects. That raised the question for me: Why should Black people have to adapt to medical technology that was not designed for them? ...
This perpetuates racism and white supremacy with devastating medical consequences for Black patients needing this last-chance therapy. ..."
