When it comes to liking themselves as individuals, blacks come out on top and whites on bottom: If a man doesn't like himself, why should he expect others to like him? What does he know that they don't? Quoth Broken Record Man, we’re told society pedestalizes whites while causing people of color to feel bad... Read More

Zoomers too. The GSS asked in 1996 and then again in 2016 if respondents have "ever felt that you were going to have a nervous breakdown?".
