I realize that “black people don’t care” is certainly not always the case, but from a white person’s point of view that’s what many could, and probably do think. I’ve worked in a clinical environment in the past and found myself asking the question, why don’t any of the black people working here care about these people? I’ve since come to realize that it’s just a different way of coping. We use empathy, you use apathy. So, to answer your question, there is no more or less problem coping. We just do it differently.
