BMHR S5 02 RACISM DOES NOT EXIST?: PERSPECTIVE AND CONTEXT FOR THE STATE OF THE BLACK UNION 2025
In this powerful episode of Black Mental Health and Race, host MFDoug AF and co-host Dr. Moore confront the growing belief that racism no longer exists. Through personal reflection, political critique, and raw dialogue, they break down the psychological traps, social consequences, and dangerous delusions behind this myth — offering their 2025 “State of the Black Union” as a call for vision, self-determination, and truth.

“Racism Does Not Exist: Perspective and Context of the State of the Black Union 2025”
This episode is a layered conversation between MFDoug AF and Dr. Moore that tackles the false narrative that racism is over. Framed as a personal “State of the Black Union” address, it critiques denial, delusion, and the psychological fallout of assimilation.
- Denial as Survival
Doug describes the phrase “racism doesn’t exist” as more emotional than factual. It gives some Black people a sense of relief — a way to avoid discomfort by pretending inequality is no longer real. But that avoidance is harmful and misleading, rooted in internalized shame and the exhaustion of navigating systemic barriers.
- The Myth of Inclusion
Dr. Moore deconstructs the mindset of Black Trump supporters who believe they’re politically or economically aligned with elites. He calls this delusional thinking — imagining oneself as part of a class that not only excludes them but benefits from their labor and silence. The belief that access equals acceptance is framed as a modern-day extension of house slavery.
- No Vision, No Freedom
A central idea is that people without vision fall into other people’s visions. Dr. Moore illustrates how historically — from colonialism to slavery — those in power have always exploited the visionless. Aligning with figures like Trump or Musk isn’t empowerment; it’s surrendering agency. Racism hasn’t vanished — it’s just more sophisticated, embedded in economics, policy, and access.
- You Will Hit the Wall
Both hosts argue that those denying racism will eventually hit “the wall” — a moment when reality contradicts belief. Whether it’s being denied a loan, profiled, or excluded, the wall reveals itself. Pretending racism is over doesn’t change the system — it just blinds you to it.
- Self-Determination is the Only Way Out
The episode closes with a return to legacy. Black people must stop waiting for outside saviors. No politician, billionaire, or system will save us. The solution lies in collective effort, cultural memory, and community-building — banking, real estate, tech, and trade — designed and led by us.
Conclusion:
“Racism is over” may be a comfort to some, but it’s a trap. The conversation reminds us that truth, not delusion, is the foundation of progress — and only by accepting ourselves, building vision, and understanding our collective power can we confront the reality of 2025 and beyond.
