AfroMarxist | Black Paper on White Racism Part 2 (1971) @AfroMarxist | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Continuing its analysis of institutional racism, Black Journal invites Dr. Alvin Poussaint, Dan Watts, and Imamu Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) to discuss racism in terms of psychological development, culture and colonialism. Dr. Poussaint, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and author of the forthcoming book "Why Blacks Kill Blacks," sees white racism as a mental illness. For that reason he questions "whether black people can find themselves and have self-determination or find their cultural self within the confines of American shores."
