Examining Anti-Blackness: The History of White Psychopathology & Legalized Sexual Violence In America

This session examines the intersections of the American legal, economic, and religious institutions of racialized rape (arranged and aimed primarily against Black women, girls, boys, and in some cases men), pedophilia, human sex trafficking, and enslavement. This experiential and interactive course content, delivered in an explicit and provocative fashion, examines the ways in which pedophilia and rape were infused into White legal, moral, political, economic, and governmental systems, and highlights the emergence of Black rage and anger as the result of White terror. One focal point is amplifying and elevating anti-Blackness as the underlying principle for these institutions and operations, rather than focusing on enslaved Black persons – as free Black persons, free Indians (as they were referred to in laws) were terrorized in many ways that are defined within the same contexts.

This session explores the teaching and reinforcing of Whiteness and anti-Blackness to White, Indigenous, and Black people, and others, during this period and beyond. It also explores the ways in which White solidarity and White benefits (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) indoctrinated, enabled, and incentivized White people to normalize complicity in anti-Black terror and subjugation. This session examines deeply the premise of anti-Blackness/anti-Black racism as psychopathic and sociopathic.

Exploring and Understanding Anti-Blackness and White Supremacy As Illnesses: Finding A Cure for the Future

This session will revolve around much of the contents within my book, The 400-Year Holocaust: White America's Legal, Psychopathic, and Sociopathic Black Genocide - and the Revolt Against Critical Race Theory. The book examines and discusses factions of the legal history of anti-Blackness and whiteness through colonialism and the United States, and its impacts on present-day America. It centers anti-Blackness as the core tenet of "racism" in White America and amplifies its relationship to the inherent "value" of whiteness (i.e., white identity, white culture, white institutions, etc.). Participants will be led through several interactive exercises where they will look at the roots of anti-Blackness and white supremacy, and make linkages to the ways in which the tenets manifest daily behavioral patterns, decisioning, framing, conceptualizing, etc. Participants will then work together to develop strategies that will enable and empower them to consider anti-Blackness and whiteness as the root cause of injustice within and throughout American institutions.
