Overview

I live a black man's reality, which is dictated by a white ideology... So begins Psychological Damage, a book that takes a hard look at African-American progress...or the lack thereof. It examines the elements of fear, religion, education, leadership, and politics that contribute to the continued oppression of black people, and challenges the mindsets of persons, groups, and organizations that suggest black people themselves pose the greatest hindrance to their own progress. There are those who say the African-American community has overcome the past. And there are those who suggest that black people need to just get over it and stop blaming the white man for our ignorance, disunity, and behaviors that produce economic violence in the black community-to stop playing the victim. But there is no getting over anything that you do not comprehend. Change will only come if and when we enact a change of thought and direction-and there remains plenty of work still to be done.
