African American OpressionEssay Preview: African American OpressionReport this essayHistory has shown that African Americans felt strong oppression by the dominate European American culture with regards to social, economic, educational policies and medical treatment (Kwate, 2005). In the discipline of psychology African Americans were barred from acceptance into graduate and undergraduate programs (Holliday, 2009). African Americans were often excluded from training and employment opportunities that would mean their advancement and recognition within psychology (Holliday, 2009). African Americans were often discriminated against and faced prejudice in the sociopolitical system which in turn made them engage in high risk behaviors (Toldson & Toldson, 2001). When trying to obtain treatment within the mental health field, African Americans were often misdiagnosed, given harsher diagnosis in comparison to their European American counterparts and often ignored when it came to the importance of their cultural heritages influence on their psychological well-being (Toldson & Toldson, 2001). With the culmination of the Civil Rights movement, African Americans called for a discipline within psychology that focused on social needs, cultural identity and advocacy for the psychological well-being of those of African Descent (William, 2008). Black psychologist created the Association of Black Psychologist (ABPsi) to ensure that the self-identity, cultural preservation, and advocacy were integral parts of African-centered psychology (Allen, 2005).

Black science is not the new black mind, but rather the “new-found black psyche” of a single African individual born in this era of White racism and White racism and white supremacy. Although it is true that racialized psychology, such as mental health, medical genetics, and psychoanalysis have played a role in the emergence of so much of the modern black mental disease epidemic, its history is still mostly hidden under our shadows.
