The Psychosis of Whiteness with Dr Kehinde Andrews

Society cannot face up to the racism at its heart, and in its history, so the delusions, irrationalities and hallucinations it conjures up to avoid doing so can only best be described as a psychosis, with the costs being borne by the sons and daughters of that racist history. Living in a racist world is like living in a world that bears no resemblance to reality. Black and brown people suffer from a greater number of mental health difficulties caused, in no small part, by trying to survive a racist society. The Psychosis of Whiteness is a smart, essential and rational takedown of the myths that uphold white supremacy, and systems and people that promote it across our society. Kehinde Andrews is the UK's first professor of Black Studies, at Birmingham City University where he led the establishment of the first Black Studies programme in Europe.
