Law shapes culture. Religion shapes culture. Education shapes culture. Institutional policies and practices shape culture. This is the central premise of Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness: White Psychopathology, Trauma, and Collective Psychosis in America. The construction of Whiteness as a socio-political, socio-cultural, psycho-social, and psycho-political brand is fearlessly documented in Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness, revealing how anti-Blackness is deeply embedded in America's fabric. It explores systemic and systematic violence perpetrated against Black people. Challenging our understanding of history, law, and culture itself, Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness walks readers through hundreds of legal and historical cases that have embedded anti-Blackness into the very nature of American culture. The weight of the law and its impact on the ordinary lives of both of Black and White people becomes clear. In a contemporary culture where buzzwords like Critical Race Theory, BLM, wokeness, and intersectionality have become embedded in everyday conversation, my work exposes the complete extent to which the American legal system codified White supremacy, Anti-non-Whiteness, and Anti-Blackness.
 
This course explores the development, construction, and functionality of race and racism as psychopathology, psychopathy, and sociopathy. It spotlights White-delusion as the normalized psychological and cultural context upon which all Americans live and exist. I compel participants to evaluate their communities’, as well as their own individual relationships to Whiteness, anti-non-Whiteness, and anti-Blackness. This experience will be the start of our journey towards building a supportive community for coping and healing.
