Breaking Chains: Understanding and Overcoming Internalized Racism in the Black Community
Join us on this episode of The Skelton Report as we explore the topic of Internalized Racism in the Black and African American community. We will take a deep dive into the concepts of psychoanalysis theory and defense mechanisms to understand how internalization operates in everyday life for Blacks and African Americans. We will also hear from renowned Black psychologists, Dr. Amos Wilson, Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, and Dr. Frantz Fanon, on their perspectives and understanding of internalized racism. We will discuss the negative impact of internalized racism on the Black psyche, including the perpetuation of Black on Black violence, and the ways in which individuals may not even be aware that they are operating within internalized racism. But don't worry, we won't leave you hanging! We will also explore various recommendations from theorists on how to work through and heal from internalized racism. Don't miss out on this enlightening and thought-provoking discussion that is sure to leave you with a new perspective on the impact of racism on the Black community.References:
