The gifted education environment can prove culturally hostile for African American/Black students (Pearman & McGee, 2022). Racially hostile college climates wear on gifted and talented Black college students. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how the racial microaggressions that gifted African American students experience impact them over time. This study addressed that problem by asking eight academically talented Black college students to share their experiences of racial microaggressions. This narrative inquiry provides a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. The findings point to the persistence of racism in gifted education and illuminate the effects of racial battle fatigue in gifted Black college students. K-12 Educators, counselors, administrators, parents, and higher education professionals can mitigate racial battle fatigue through anti-racism.
