 Denzel Washington is the greatest actor to grace the silver screen.  His portrayal of Malcolm X was a tour de force that earned him a place at the top of the highest echelon of motion picture actors.  Similarly, his portrayal of the wrongfully imprisoned Hurricane Carter was a magnificent piece of work that displayed his full range as an actor.  He should have won academy awards for both films.  But he didn’t.

 Now, he is again nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his work in Training Day.  Although his portrayal of a corrupt narcotics police officer was commendable, the film itself was trash.  And it trashed Black and Brown people.

 Set in Los Angeles, viewers took a tour of South Central Los Angeles, a predominantly African American community, and East Los Angeles, a predominantly Latino area.

 I live in South Central Los Angeles and regularly visit sections of East Los Angeles.  They are communities of working families that have more than their fair share of homelessness and other signifiers of the denial of full participation in the city’s and America’s educational, employment and economic opportunities.  But the film’s portrayal of these areas was full of distorted stereotypes, urban pathos, loose women, thuggish men, and communities engaged in tangles of pathology.

 It is the same story:  a “Black” film made by White people.  And it is the same story with a White hero who faces repeated death, overcomes, and emerges victorious over the hapless gangsters and drug dealers that live fictionalized lives in what in reality are decent communities.

 Denzel demonstrated his tremendous talents as an actor.  But I hope that he has second thoughts about appearing in a film that catered to White fears and ambitions.  Their fears of communities of color, of men of color, and their ambition to wage battle in these communities against seemingly impossible odds and put the evil doers in their place.

 So while we may applaud Denzel Washington, he loses a bit of his luster by succumbing to participating in a film project that degrades his people and others oppressed by centuries of systematic discrimination.

 When he wins the Oscar for this portrayal, one much weaker than Malcolm X or Hurricane Carter, millions of Americans will march through the turnstiles and continue their mis-education about the life circumstances of men and women of color.  And they will be reinforced in both their fears and their ambitions.

 We should take to the streets and protest this assault on the dignity and character of African Americans and Latinos.

In August 2001, four months ago, The Association began its 34th year.  This annual new beginning signals that membership dues are needed to make it possible for The ABPsi to continue its mandate as a professional association for another year.  The dues and the donations of the previous year have likely been depleted by the end of that year, and if the number of people renewing their memberships the previous year was low, a debt will have accumulated.   It is of great concern to many of us, especially those who work on the front line of The ABPsi, regarding the number former members who seemingly have abandoned the organization, and the absence of recent graduates who are becoming members.  I must add that the caliber of the recent graduates who are becoming members is very impressive, and their commitment to The Association and serving the African ancestry community is admirable.  However, an increase in those who will stand and be counted in all groups will lighten the burden required to insure that future generations have a strong ABPsi as part of their inheritance.

It is important to pass on strong viable institutions to the generations who follow.  A pattern of abandoning or selling our resources appears to be expanding among African ancestry people.  They range from the selling of natural resources in Africa that places the land and the people in jeopardy, to the selling or disposing of successfully developed industries in the USA that further limit the opportunities for African ancestry voices to be heard.  As psychologists, healers of the mind being our specialty, let us lead the communities out of this malaise rather joining them.  To do this, psychologists of African ancestry must establish a “collective” that embraces the diversity within The ABPsi, and allows it to make The Association stronger rather than fragmented and weakened.  It is clear from the quantity and content of the telephone calls that daily come into the National Office that the vehicle for “Psychological Collective Work and Sharing” is The ABPsi.

The membership chairperson, who holds three positions within The Association, is working tirelessly to increase the numbers of former member on the roster who have paid their 2001-2002 membership dues.  This source of revenue is the financial lifeblood of The Association.  These dues permit us to respond to the psychological needs of underserved communities, especially those of African ancestry.  People of African ancestry, especially African Americans, call everyday from cities, small towns, and rural areas all over the country, and occasionally from overseas -- asking for referrals – and  requesting Black psychologists for counseling and/or psychotherapy.  Calls come from the Black press and media as well as from individuals for information on depression, post- partum depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, reactions and expected reactions to the  September 11th terrorist attack, and other problems.  The calls escalate when a mental health issue is highlighted in the Black press.  The stigma barrier that prevented people of African ancestry from seeking psychological assistance appears to be diminishing.  Please join the referral list when you send in your membership dues.  As those seeking referrals for information and/or psychological interventions receive help based on their request, the stigma of mental illness may be further reduced and the use of mental health services, when needed, may increase within Black communities.  Breaking the silence, or barriers of denial and stigma regarding mental distress and illness within the African ancestry communities continue to be an uphill battle.  Please become a dues paying member and millennium contributor to The ABPsi.  Please register for the referral list and be available to the community.

Currently, we have a staff of two women who respond to telephone requests and perform the other duties necessary to keep an office functioning.  They are:  Ms. Niyonu Benson, MPH with a variety of experiences in underserved communities; and Ms. Baaqia Hollaway, BS, a recent graduate with computer training.  They have been in their positions for  three months.  As usual, the staff is too small for the demands of the office due to the high visibility of The ABPsi, the knowledge and expertise of The Association’s members and potential members, the potential for collaborative work and service, and the psychological distresses of the times.  Hence, the president and other members of the Board of Directors must make unbelievable financial and time sacrifices to insure that culturally sensitive services and information can be available to people of African ancestry on a regular basis.  Please, if you have not, renew your membership and actively recruit new members to help change this dynamic and make serving The ABPsi and the needs and requests from the community less stressful for those of us on the front line.

As Past-President Dr. Thomas Parham concluded his term as president, he said that The Association had never funded the kind of help that was needed in the National Office.  That is still true.  The Association also needs to fund the travel and accommodations for the Board of Directors, all of whom are volunteers who take time away from their paid employment to serve and attend BOD meetings.  Most of The ABPsi members and potential members have been blessed with the financial resources necessary for helping to create a different scenario for The Association.  The missing ingredient appears to be the will, which I am appealing to you to change.  Call or write to me if there are obstacles preventing you from becoming a part of building a stronger and less financially struggling ABPsi.  Thank you in advance for your positive responses to increasing the membership and millennium contributions for 2001-2002.  Email:  Mehargrow16@aol.com.

"...the death penalty, being the ultimate penalty, requires a level of certainty and confidence in our legal system that does not exist at present." From the statement of the New Jersey Chapter of Association of Black Psychologists in support of a moratorium on state executions (November 28, 2001).

A distinctive feature of the criminal justice system in the United States is the high rate of incarceration.  This high incarceration rate disproportionately effects African-Americans who are 6 times more likely to be incarcerated than white citizens (Franklin, 1998).  The United States also stands out for its use of the death penalty.   The great majority of countries in Western Europe, North and South America (more than 100 around the world) have abandoned use of the death penalty.  The USA keeps company with the Iraq, Iran Libya, Russia and China as nations which rely on the death penalty.  The USA is also a leader in executions for crimes committed by children.  Since 1990 only six nations, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nigeria, Yemen and the USA, have executed people for crimes committed as children.   Racial discrimination in the use of the death penalty is also an historical and current feature of the United States legal system.

While there have always been opponents to the death penalty, increasing doubt about the  process has emerged in recent years.  Governor Ryan of Illinois, a Republican and supporter of the death penalty, enacted a state moratorium on the death penalty in January of 2000.  Governor Ryan's decision was a result of the obvious evidence that several innocent defendants had been sentenced to death.  The exoneration of death row inmates was by no means isolated to Illinois.  As a result of new DNA technology and investigative work by Law School Innocence Projects, Centurion ministries, and others, falsely convicted defendants are being released around the country (Dwyer, 2001; Jet Magazine, 2001)

Many professional and religious groups have joined the call for a moratorium on the death penalty.  Some of the advocates for a moratorium are death penalty "abolitionists", while others are opposed to the apparent inequities in the current application of the death penalty.  In either case, there is growing consensus for no more executions without thorough study of the death penalty process from legal, medical, economic, social, and moral perspectives.

Among the many organizations that support the moratorium on state executions are the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, National Black Police Association, American Psychiatry Association, National Association of Social Workers, American Public Health Association, and the American Psychological Association (APA).  Noteworthy is the APA's well documented and researched resolution (American Psychological Association, 2001) which highlights various objectionable features of the death penalty such as death sentencing of defendants later exonerated by DNA evidence, incompetent counsel provided for defendants, execution of defendants with serious mental illness and mental retardation, the lack of a deterrent effect, and racial bias in prosecutors' decisions to seek the death penalty.

That the death penalty has been applied in a racially discriminatory manner has been common knowledge in the African-American community for generations.  In fact for many in the African American community, today's opposition to the death penalty is a continuation of the anti-lynching campaign championed by Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Dubois and others (Allen, 2000).  More recently, apparent racial discrimination in the death penalty was illustrated vividly in the 1987 McClesky v. Kemp case (see Wrightsman, 2001).  Experts for the African-American defendant demonstrated that both the racial group of the victim, as well as the racial group of the defendant, contributed to the likliehood of a death sentence in Georgia (even when controlling for mitigating and aggravating factors).  The combination of these two racial factors resulted in the predictable finding that there was the greatest chance of a death sentence when there was a Black defendant and white victim.  However, the US Supreme Court (in a 5-4 vote) rejected the equal protection argument raised by counsel for McClesky.  The majority opinion noted that McClesky had not proven that there was 'intent' to discriminate.  A similar pattern of racial discrimination in the application of the death penalty has been documented in other states as well as Georgia (Baldus, Woodworth, & Pulaski, 1990)

Black psychologists can contribute to the growing consensus to halt executions until it can be demonstrated that the death penalty is applied fairly and consistent with acceptable standards of decency.  Close scrutiny of the criminal justice system reveals recurrent flaws and false assumptions that undermine confidence that this system can be entrusted to take human life.  More information on the death penalty moratorium is available at www.deathpenalty.org and www.info@NJmoratorium.org .

There is really nothing particularly magical or heritable about being African or Africa itself for that matter, that “makes” a person be right or do right.  A person’s ways or personality or condition or environment can combine, in various permutations, to give an advantage or disadvantage to integrity.  There are two issues that have caused me to do a great deal of thinking about integrity.  One has to do with: to what extent does all of our Africanity and African re-socialization make us better friends, spouses, professors, parents, business partners, etc.  The other has to do with: long-term involvement in spiritual activities and an apparent comparatively (certainly lamentably) slow rate of maturity.

 Since African begins with the letter A, I’ll begin with that point.  My first deep introduction into all things African was the very first ABPsi conference I had ever attended in Charleston, S.C. in August of 1999.  Prior to that, February 1998 was when I knowingly saw Black psychologists for the first time.  In Charleston, however, I saw so many of you bedecked in African glory and I was absolutely overcome—as much as I like to talk, I was speechless.  You were nothing short of magnificent as you flowed up and down the hotel’s corridors and in and out of sessions.  Ya’ showed out! You pontificated, elaborated, exonerated, collaborated, interpolated, and disseminated.  You synthesized, synergized, hypothesized, realized, philosophized, and mesmerized.  If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were gods.  In my naivete, I assumed that there was something “Africanly” profound that had previously occurred on the inside and that was the impetus behind why you did what you did as well as you did it on the outside.  Now of course, I didn’t go so far as to think that you were anything close to perfect, but I let myself imagine that just maybe I had stumbled and bumbled my way into a “richer text” of being: an African way of being.  I thought I had found a village of people who, serious to their souls, had recovered a way of allowing all those letters behind their names, their professional development, their skills, gifts, strengths, and so forth to cause them to be some kind of wonderful.  I was convinced… I was yours truly, but I remained somewhat skeptical because I had been in the church for so very long.  There, I saw us do right all by ourselves and, unfortunately, saw us do dreadfully wrong all by ourselves.

 Now that I’ve clearly portrayed my first impressions of ABPsi, I’ll share some of what’s on my mind these days.  We have to do better by one another or else we are no better, in fact worse, than those—namely white folks—who some of us seem to love to hate or live to critique.  All excuses have expired.  It behooves us to channel at least some of our reacting-to-white-folk’s-mess energy into long overdue apologies and neglected reconciliations amongst ourselves. If we are among some of the universe’s healers, we should avail ourselves upon all of our African glory and extensive training (not to mention life experiences) to move beyond such long-standing counterproductivity. Racism isn’t the only saboteur. I wonder if some of what we’re doing is akin to not trying to be like white folks rather than trying to be like God. I also wonder if we may be guiltier than we’re at liberty to say, of making the nature of certain Godly things tantamount to being African.  Lest I surf onto a different web of ideas, I’ll move on to my next point.

 For all of you church folk, priests and priestesses and however else you define yourselves… we need to be callin’ on and conjuring up something different… something that will make a noticeable difference about the quality of who and how we be.  Else why have elaborate rituals and bankrupt hearts?  Why abound in spiritual praise and balk at blessing one another? When we go to our collective or individual alters, as it were, we ought to take care about what we’re offering.  Is what we’re sacrificing contaminated?  If the sacrifice is clean, are our hands? Once some of us do finally open up, we feel compelled to “reseal for freshness.”  It goes without saying that some folk just can’t be trusted or are toxic no matter how well they’re forgiven, and that’s obvious, I think.  But then again, maybe the issue is how one defines forgiveness.  I understand forgiveness to be the act of not permanently holding something against another or one’s self for that matter.  Doesn’t mean that the one being forgiven shouldn’t be or can’t be counted on.  Notice that I didn’t mention drinkin’, clubin’, cussin’, gamblin’, sexin’ or what have you—the stuff most sermons are made of.  That’s because the quality of the processes that we maintain about how to be with ourselves, our Creator, and one another dictates those things to some degree.  In other words, there’s a way that we be that speaks toward what we will or won’t do.  Besides, some of those “sins” are relative anyway, with respect to their subjective, selective democratic morality (the operative word being “some”). One side point here has to do with the significance of what we do after we’ve messed up being just as salient as prevention.

 Family, it could be that with this spiritual issue I have more questions than I do statements, although obviously not reflected in this article.  For example, don’t you get on your own nerves sometimes?  Seriously!  I mean, every now and again I make myself sick; I get on my own nerves about something I’m being petty with or spoiled about.  I think to myself, “If I notice this in myself, surely others must.”  Another thing: we’ve seem to have adopted an idea that it’s wrong to confront folks about their… you know… stuff (there’s another “s” word that works really well here).  On this point, I’d like to go on record to make a request of those of sound mind and spirit:  If you see me somewhere and my stuff is foul, PLEASE pull me aside and let me know.  Peradventure I just might be having one of those moments and may not be cognizant of my foolishness.  Back to my earlier point, is this passivity or misguided conflict avoidance a component of the African worldview?  Is it a part of any worldview?  Surely we can resurrect or invent healthy ways of admonishing and exhorting one another.  Just look at all that literature we’ve published, classes we’ve taught, and clients we’ve helped!

 Beloved, in my mind, we don’t have to necessarily like each other or certain aspects about each other to get along.  Our aggregate differences shouldn’t lead to cultural anarchy, social calamity, organizational disorientation, and spiritual barrenness.  Now, lest some folks think that something major went down and I’m responding to it in some passive aggressive manner or that I’m writing as if all is lost with ABPsi, that’s not the case.  I just want us to be mo’ better off than we are worse off.  If we are, then hopefully this article will not detract.  What I have brought forth has been issues that I often think about with respect to myself mostly, and then about us as well because I care about us.  They are certainly not new.  I adore people; I particularly adore African people.  Perhaps there’s some contradiction in that statement, but I hope my heart is LIGHT.  Peace and prosperity, Black people!
