Dedication<br />

This essay is dedicated <strong>to</strong> all of <strong>the</strong> Black men who are in "greater<br />

confinement" (prisons and jails) with <strong>the</strong> hope that <strong>the</strong>y will be encouraged<br />

never <strong>to</strong> give up <strong>the</strong> struggle against white supremacy domination<br />

(injustice) once <strong>the</strong>y understand what <strong>the</strong> struggle is truly all about.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y never will return <strong>to</strong> jail, and <strong>the</strong>ir behavior no longer will be<br />

anti-racist (blind reaction <strong>to</strong> stress from ignorance, anger and fear), but<br />

effectively counter-racist. Many of <strong>the</strong>se Black men, in <strong>the</strong>ir letters <strong>to</strong><br />

me, also have given me great enouragement, support and help <strong>to</strong>wards<br />

continuing our fight for justice. All Black people are still in confmement!<br />

Foreword<br />

This essay is not intended <strong>to</strong> be sacrilegious or offensive <strong>to</strong> anyone. I<br />

was baptized in <strong>the</strong> Baptist church and christened in <strong>the</strong> African Methodist<br />

Episcopal Church. This essay was written only <strong>to</strong> address <strong>the</strong> question<br />

Black people have been raising for a long time- "What's happening?"<br />

We ask that question of everyone that we meet because we truly have not<br />

unders<strong>to</strong>od and presently do not understand what really is going on. It is<br />

<strong>the</strong> responsibility of Black behavioral scientists in general, and Black<br />

psychiatrists in particular, <strong>to</strong> provide this answer.<br />
