This month we have been examining psychological racism as it has been directed at the self-concept and worth of Black people in America and the resulting internalization of its effects. Last week I explored and today I will be further exploring the effects of psychological racism, its internalization and resulting low self-esteem on the perpetrator, white America.

            I rarely listen to or hear what Rush Limbaugh has to say but today I did.

A friend shared with me his radio announced plea to the Republican Party to accept Mitt Romney as their candidate and to eagerly support him. I later heard a recap of his plea. Limbaugh did not offer praises of the proposed candidate but rather an acknowledged resignation to the potentiality that Romney would become their, the Republican Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America. He further acknowledged that their, Republican, attacks on him were only weakening his candidacy against his run for President against President Obama in November. He begged Republicans to stop the attacks. He did so not because he considered them false accusations and expressions of the candidate but rather because he was their only and the only (implied, white) candidate the country would be able to vote for in November and the resumption/return of the Presidency and its power to “white” America (ns) was paramount damn be the quality, appropriateness or potential effectiveness of the candidate.

Romney may not be who is best but . . .

VOTE FOR ROMNEY,

He is white.

Black Americans, I suggest, are not the only Americans to have been psychologically damaged by racism.

It just gets SADDER!
