2001-02 Board of Directors

 The ABPsi is a membership organization.  It is a philanthropic, charitable, non-profit organization of psychologists who support the goals and objectives of The ABPsi.

 Our lifeblood is our membership (see Hargrow, this issue).  And we seem to be losing it.

 Our membership has declined over the past two years, and the rate of renewals this year is a threat to our survivability as an organization.  Is this how this organization with such great potential and actual accomplishments is going to go down?  With a whimper?

 Over the 34 years of our existence The ABPsi has provided services to thousands of individuals, principally in connection with our multi-year grant for training and education in HIV/AIDS.  We remain at the forefront in challenging the use of tests to place African American children in learning disabled classrooms.

 We publish the only scholarly journal in Black psychology, and Psych Discourse is the only journal in any field of Black Studies that is published on a monthly basis.

 We provide a place for Black psychologists to convene, from around the world, to share their ideas, theories, research, and praxis.

 We receive many hundreds of calls every year from members of the community requesting our expertise.  We make hundreds of referrals to clinical and counseling psychologists.

 But our revenue stream is failing us.

 For some reason, people do not renew their dues until many months after the beginning of the membership year.

 And I’m preaching to the choir:  this issue of Psych Discourse is only being sent to currently paid members, about 1/3 of our usual number.

 If you’ve read this far, we need your help:  Please reach out to your colleagues and ask them to join or renew their membership in The ABPsi.  Have them do it before the end of the calendar year or soon thereafter.

The former members who seemingly have abandoned the organization It isare of great concern to many of us, especially those who work on the front lines of The ABPsi.  We are also concerned about , regarding the number former members who seemingly have abandoned the organization, and the absence of recent graduates who are not 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 to 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 access opportunitiesy 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 than 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 come into the National Office on a daily basis that the appropriate 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 every day from cities, small towns, and rural areas all over the country, and occasionally from overseas -- asking for referrals – and specifyrequesting Black psychologists for counseling and/or psychotherapy.  Calls come from the Black press, and mass media andas well as from  individuals that ask for information on depression, post-pardotum depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and reactions and expected reactions to the aftermath of September 11th terrorist attacks.  Callers are asking us for and recommendations on how to cope with these and other what should be done, 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 for based on their requests, the stigma of mental illness may be further reduced and the use of needed mental health services, when needed, may increase within Black communities.  Breaking the silence, or tackling the barriers of denial, and removing stigmas regarding mental distress and illness within the African ancestry communities continue to be an uphill battle in our communities.  BeEcomeCOME a A duDUesES paying member and Millennium Contributor of The  PAYING MEMBER AND MILLENIUM CONTRIBUTOR OF THE ABPsi.  Register for The ABPsi Referral List and make yourself more available to local, national and international communities of Black people.  EGISTER 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. Neiyonu Benson, MPH, with a variety of experiences in underserved communities,; and Ms. Baaqia Holloway, BS, a recent graduate with computer training.  They have been in their positions for two months.  As usual, the staff is too small for the demands of the office.  These demands are due to the enhanced  due to the visibility of The ABPsi and , 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.  The knowledge and expertise of The Association and its members create additional calls to our National Office.   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 arecan be regularly 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 request 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 funds 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 you The ABPsi members and potential members have been blessed with the financial resources necessary for helping to creatinge a different scenario for The Association.  The missing ingredient appears to be the will, which  which I am appealing to you to commithange.  Call or write to me if there are obstacles preventing you from becoming a part of building a stronger less financially struggling ABPsi.  Thank you in advance for your positive responses to increaseing the membership and Mmillennium cContributions for 2001-2002.  Email:  Mehargrow16@aol.com.

In a recent Psych Discourse Editorial, Dr. Halford Fairchild posed the question: “Can Blacks be Racist?” (Fairchild, 2001). Dr. Fairchild answers this question, in part, as follows:

Many of us have heard and perhaps promote the idea that Blacks cannot be racist because Blacks have no Power to exercise over another group because of their race. Nonsense.  …. We must recognize a variety of forms of racism: individual, institutional and cultural.  Blacks, like any other group, can be racist on each of these dimensions: by loathing someone (or a group) because of the color of their skin (individual racism), by hiring or not hiring someone because of their so-called “race” (institutional racism), or by disparaging a group because they supposedly can’t dance, or are “ice people” (cultural racism).  p. 3

People are divided on this question of Black Racism.  Former Congressman Gus Savage explained the Blacks couldn't be racists because,

"Racism is white…there are no Black racists. Racism is the unfair power of one race over another."

 Feagin and Vera (1995) in their book, White Racism, stated that Black racism does not exist:

Racism is more than a matter of individual prejudice and scattered episodes of discrimination designed by African Americans to exclude White Americans from full participation  in the rights, privileges, and benefits of this society.  Black (or other minority) racism would require not only a widely accepted racist ideology directed at whites but also the power to systematically exclude whites from opportunities and rewards in major economic, cultural, and political institutions.  While there are Black Americans with anti-white prejudices, and there are instances of black discrimination against whites, these examples are not central to the core operations of U.S. society and are not an entrenched structure of institutionalized racism.  (p. 1)

 A clear example of  individual racism is the racial hate crime committed by Colin Ferguson who murdered whites and Asians on a New York subway a few years ago.  His actions were a racial hate crime and therefore, constituted a racist act. The teachings of Khalil Mohammed of the Nation of Islam were racist in nature.  He says "Nobody can stop me from saying that the White man is a Devil" At a speech at Howard University he equated White people with Hitler.  He stated "I believe in separation (of the races) and independence…a nation of our own…own government…own laws."  Certainly, these are racist words, but they are neither acts nor deeds. That is, Khalil Mohammed never actually carried out any of his beliefs. Colin Ferguson did and his actions are an example of Individual Racism.

 Let me be clear about how I define racism. First of all, racism must be distinguished from the concepts of bigotry, prejudice, hatred and loathing (to use Dr. Fairchild's term). On the one hand, Racism is the abuse of power that leads to oppression in the forms of discrimination, exclusion and subordination of a racial group solely on the basis of color.  Power is defined as the ability to define social reality (economic and political) along with the necessary instruments of domination to uphold that reality. Power is the common denominator of all racism (individual, institutional, cultural and scientific). Thus, racism is more than the attitude or belief one holds about another individual or group. It is what one does with the power that determines whether one is racist or not. The real question, then, is, whether Blacks have the ability to define social reality as whites do. In a small way we do.

On the other hand, bigotry is an irrational hatred of a group or individual solely on the basis of race, religion or sexual orientation; prejudice is an opinion formed beforehand, usually an irrational dislike or an unfounded hatred, fear or mistrust of a person or group; discrimination, a form of racism, refers to unfair or unjust exclusionary actions toward individuals on the basis of the color of their skin.

Racism involves an act of discrimination, physical or verbal harm expressed by an abuse of power based on one's prejudice, bigotry.  A Black person who is a bigot , prejudiced , or anti-white is not by definition a racist.  The same is true for Whites.  They may be bigoted or prejudiced but not racists. However, if one discriminates or oppresses individuals because of his/her prejudicial attitudes, then he/she qualifies as a racist.  Although the issue of Black racism is debatable, I conclude that Blacks can be racist if they have the power and abuse that power.

Fairchild Replies:  I very much appreciate Dr. Robert L. Williams for addressing and expanding on this issue.  I agree with virtually everything he says, but add that Black people are the most powerful people on the face of the Earth.  Our power is not in the traditional forms:  guns, land and money.  Our power is in our spirits and our souls.  We have the power, and some of us, sometimes, misuse it.

 On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners within the United States.  The terrorists apparently seized control of the cockpits and, in three of the four hijackings, turned the airliners into deadly bombs by slamming the airliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center as well as the Pentagon.  Several thousand individuals perished in the attacks.  In addition, the twin towers were destroyed, as was a major section of the Pentagon.  The coordinated series of hijackings arguably represented the bloodiest terrorist attacks on American soil in a single day.

 The federal government responded quickly to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.  For example, President George W. Bush  proclaimed September 13, 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the victims of the attacks and explicitly referred to the attacks as acts of war.  In addition, on September 24, 2001, President Bush issued an executive order freezing the domestic assets of 27 individuals and organizations having terrorist links.  As of this writing, the United States was preparing to launch a global war on terrorism.

 Clearly, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 cannot and should not be trivialized.  Nevertheless, conspicuous in its absence was any acknowledgement by the federal government that terrorist attacks by certain right-wing White Christian individuals and organizations against African Americans and members of other socially stigmatized groups have bloodied American soil throughout the nation’s history.  Probably the best-known White Christian terrorist organization is the Ku Klux Klan, which was formed by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee, during the Reconstruction era (Martin Riches, 1997).  The fact that neither the Ku Klux Klan nor any other White Christian terrorist individual or organization appears in the appendix to President Bush’s aforementioned executive order implies that, according to the Bush Administration, White Christians are not to be held accountable for their acts of terrorism within the United States.

 In the present paper, I argue that the Ku Klux Klan will not become a casualty in the United States’ so-called war on terrorism.  Drawing upon Erving Goffman’s Stigma:  Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity (1963), I point out that (1) a conceptualization of Klansmen as stigmatized individuals cannot explain the absence of White Christian terrorists from President Bush’s list of terrorist individuals and organizations; whereas (2) a conceptualization of Klansmen as “normals” readily explains why no White Christian terrorist individual or group appears on President Bush’s terrorist list.  Finally, I conclude that the list of individuals and groups on President Bush’s list of terrorists is symptomatic of ethnocentrism within American society.

 According to Mickolus (1979), terrorism is defined as “the use, or threat of use, of anxiety-inducing extranormal violence for political purposes by any individual or group, whether acting for, or opposition to, established governmental authority, when such action is intended to influence the attitudes and behavior of a target group wider than the immediate victims...” (p. 148).  By that definition, according to scholars from a variety of racial groups and sociopolitical orientations (e.g., Bennett, 1975/1993; Gaines, 2000; Gordon, 1995/2000; Gossett, 1963/1973; Martin Riches, 1997; Meyer, 2000; Sowell, 1981; Thernstrom & Thernstrom, 1997; Wilson, 1996; R. Wright, 1940/2000), the Ku Klux Klan qualifies as a terrorist organization.  To this day, the Klan represents a clear and present danger to the lives, liberty, and happiness of African Americans (Nobles, 1997; Wright Edelman, 1997).  Thus, the Klan undoubtedly deserves to be included on President Bush’s list of terrorist individuals and organizations operating within the United States.

 A major problem with the Bush Administration’s stance toward terrorism is the tacit assumption that terrorism is strictly transnational in scope, which necessarily ignores domestic terrorism.  As Mickolus (1979) observed, “Domestic terrorism is behavior that has the... characteristics of extranormal violence but does not involve nationals of more than one state.  It is the domestic parallel to transnational terrorism in that it is carried on by basically autonomous nonstate actors but only affects citizens of one state...” (p. 148).  At first glance, it might seem odd that prominent African Americans within President Bush’s inner circle of advisors (e.g., Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice) have not publicly identified the Ku Klux Klan as an active terrorist organization.  However, considering that Booker T. Washington (1901/1996) denied the continuing threat of the Ku Klux Klan even during the Klan’s heyday between the Reconstruction and Civil Rights eras (Gaines & Reed, 1994), the failure of President Bush’s African American advisors to publicly identify the Klan as a terrorist group is not entirely surprising.

 Throughout his long and productive life, W. E. B. Du Bois (1986) called attention to the conspiratorial activities of the Ku Klux Klan.  The Klan’s terrorist acts range from intimidation of African American voters (Wright & Morrison, 2000) to violence against interracial couples (Gaines, 2000).  However, due in large part to the reluctance of all-White juries to convict White Christians of murdering anyone except other White Christians (Allport, 1954/1979), official statistics do not begin to reflect the actual number of African Americans killed by Klansmen or other right-wing White Christians.  Therefore, the extent of terrorism perpetrated by the KKK upon African Americans may never be known.

 One of the most instantly recognizable trademarks of the Ku Klux Klan is the hooded robe, designed to conceal the identities of Klan members.  From the vantage point of social perceivers outside the Klan, members of the Klan are strangers.  In Stigma:  Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity, Erving Goffman (1963) described the process through which strangers may become stigmatized in the eyes of social perceivers:

While the stranger is before us, evidence can arise of his possessing an attribute that makes him different from others in the category of persons available for him to be, and of a less desirable kind – in the extreme, a person who is quite thoroughly bad, or dangerous, or weak.  He is thus reduced in our minds from a whole and usual person to a tainted, discounted one.  Such an attribute is a stigma, especially when its discrediting effect is very extensive; sometimes it is also called a failing, a shortcoming, a handicap.  (p. 3)

In turn, Goffman (1963) observed that one type of stigma involves “blemishes of individual character perceived as weak will, domineering or unnatural passions, treacherous and rigid beliefs, and dishonesty, these being inferred from a known record of, for example, ...radical political behavior” (p. 4).  As members of a terrorist organization, Klansmen obviously can be perceived as possessing blemishes of individual character.  Such blemishes sound similar to the psychological characteristics of the authoritarian personality, as described by Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson, and Sanford (1950).  However, Adorno and his colleagues did not specifically refer to members of the Ku Klux Klan as exemplars of authoritarianism.

 If the Bush Administration perceived the same blemishes of individual character that psychologically oriented social psychologists are likely to perceive in members of the Ku Klux Klan, then one might expect the Klan (and, perhaps, those Klansmen who have dared lift their hoods to the public) to appear on President Bush’s list of terrorist groups and persons.  As I mentioned above, neither the Klan nor any of its members appear on President Bush’s terrorist list.  Instead, the list is limited to presumably terrorist Arab and/or Muslim organizations and individuals.  President Bush’s terrorist list calls to mind negative and familiar stereotypes concerning Arab and Muslim persons as violent fanatics (see Nanji, 1993; Sherif, 1999).

 Why are the Ku Klux Klan and its members absent from President Bush’s list of terrorists?  One reason may be that the Bush Administration does not perceive Klansmen as stigmatized individuals after all.  Rather, it is possible that the Bush Administration perceives Klansmen as “normals” – individuals who, in Goffman’s words, are “We and those who do not depart negatively from the particular expectations at issue” (p. 5).

 So far, I have focused on blemishes of individual character as stigma.  However, Goffman (1963) also identified “the tribal stigma of race, nation, and religion, these being stigma that can be transmitted through lineages and equally contaminate all members of a family” (p. 4).  If we shift the question from whether Klansmen are stigmatized by virtue of their character (for which the answer is yes) to whether Klansmen are stigmatized by virtue of their ethnicity (for which the answer is no), then we are in a position to resolve the apparent discrepancy between the Bush Administration’s proclaimed “war on terrorism” and President Bush’s failure to include the Ku Klux Klan or any of its members on the list of terrorists operating within the United States.  As White Christians, Klansmen possess neither discredited ethnic characteristics (i.e., characteristics that are easily visible and socially damaging, such as membership in a group of persons of color) nor discreditable ethnic characteristics (i.e., characteristics that are easily concealable yet socially damaging if revealed, such as membership in a Jewish or Islamic religious group).

 It seems that the Bush Administration is using ethnicity, rather than character, as the primary basis for including specific individuals and organizations on its list of terrorists in the United States.  The Bush Administration’s omission of Klansmen from its list of terrorists is not consistent with the psychologically oriented view of Klansmen as stigmatized by virtue of their character.  However, the absence of Klansmen from the terrorist list is entirely consistent with the sociologically oriented view of Klansmen as “normal” by virtue of their ethnicity.  This latter view was advanced by Du Bois (1986), whose insight into the social perceptions of European Americans was surpassed only by his insight into the social perceptions of African Americans (Gaines & Reed, 1994, 1995; Reed & Gaines, 1997).  Lewis Gordon (1995/2000), who (like the present author) was influenced greatly by Du Bois, was prophetic in suggesting that the Klan would continue to operate above the law:

...There is a reason why in various parts of the country hate groups are preparing themselves for a race war by training in paramilitary techniques.  There is a reason why, in spite of its well know[n] terrorist activity, the Ku Klux Klan maintains “legal” status in the U.S.  It is fear of an implication of just decisions made in “favor” of blacks, and that is this:  [R]acial justice is not designed for whites.  It is absurd to articulate whites as an historically oppressed group, and it is because of that absurdity that there have been attempts to decenter the discourse on racial justice from its focus on race to ethnic groups and individuals.  Thus, one hears about historically oppressed white ethnics and then Bakke who was supposedly discriminated against by policies that favored blacks.  (p. 507, italics in original)

 At the outset of the present paper, I predicted that the Ku Klux Klan will escape any assaults in the United States’ so-called “war on terrorism.”  My review of the social-psychological literature on stigma, especially from a sociological perspective, supports such a prediction.  The ethnic identity of the Ku Klux Klan (i.e., strong identification with Whiteness and Christianity) is so entwined with the ethnic identity of the United States that the Bush Administration is likely to find it difficult – if not impossible – to view the Ku Klux Klan objectively as a terrorist organization (see also Aguirre & Turner, 1995; Ringer & Lawless, 1989; Rose, 1990).

 In closing, I hope that future events prove me wrong.  However, I am not at all optimistic regarding the prospects of a victory by the United States, even if the “war on terrorism” is limited to Arab and/or Muslim terrorists.  As President Bush’s list of targeted terrorists indicates, the Bush Administration has even less resolve to fight White Christian terrorists such as the Ku Klux Klan than to fight Arab and/or Muslim terrorists.

The task of the Public Relations and Marketing Committee was to publicize the conference through various media, events leading up to, during, and after the conference.  Our task was guided, in part, by consultations with our National President - Dr. Anthony P. Young, Mr. Arthur Atwell - 2001 Conference co-chair, committee members, Denver ABPsi chapter members, other local and national professionals, and a local Black-owned marketing firm.  The majority of our meetings were conducted by phone, e-chats, and e-mail.  While we did not keep minutes, we did compile and organize records of most of our contacts.

Some traditional advertising venues were planned and/or attempted but not used due to budget constraints.  These ventures included advertising in church bulletins and prominent national magazines (Ebony, Jet, Essence, etc.), state-wide Cub Foods sack ads, an interview on Tavis Smiley’s show, securing services from a local Black-owned marketing firm, and utilizing the Hueman Experience Bookstore’s guest author book signing program with ABPsi authors. The committee marketed the ABPsi 2001 International conference in the follow venues: flyers/announcements at the Ghana 2000 conference, pre-conference mailers, local souvenir program ads, flyers, posters, handbills, local and regional newspaper write-ups, and local magazine ads.  We also sent numerous international/national e-mails, posted announcements at many web site bulletin boards, advertised at area Junior High and High Schools, faxed local and national health care agencies, secured KUVO national radio spots (April-June), and distributed hand bills at local events (Juneteenth, Big 12 Conference, Kwanzaa, etc.). Much gratitude is extended to Helen Littlejohn who, in the absence of conference resources and at the 11th hour, used her own resources to secure television media and press conference exposure.

Given the marketing committee’s efforts, it is uncertain as to what may have contributed to the low attendance at the 2001 Colorado conference.  It is possible that a number of factors (i.e., increased registration fees, communication and registration glitches, location, air/lodging fare rates, general apathy, etc.) were at play.  Open dialogue will be extremely critical in addressing these issues toward building “bigger and better” future conferences.

Recommendations

1) Ensure marketing orientation for 2002 conference officers to foster continuity of outreach and communication with 2001 officers.
2)
3) Ensure a line item in the national budget for PR & marketing of at least $5,000.
4)
5) Ensure the means whereby a portion of budgeted funds can be released to the hosting chapter, in adequate time, so as to accommodate the nature and work of the 2002 marketing tasks.
6)
7) Develop a detailed manual for PR chair(s) and committee members that chronologically lists/explains general PR activities.  This manual should be available in both hard copy and electronic form.
8)
9) Establish, support, and maintain continuity with communication between national officers, the NCC, and the various NCC committee chairs.
10)
11) Explore the possibility of hiring a conference planner as events of this magnitude are extremely taxing for a volunteer work force.
12)
13) Provide a venue whereby committees may debrief and present their reports .

Respectfully submitted,
Carnita M. Groves, B.A.
2001 ABPsi Conference PR/Marketing Chair
