Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness: White Psychopathology, Collective Psychosis, and Trauma in America is now a transformative 10-part online course designed to guide learners through the historical, legal, psychological, and sociocultural architecture of anti-Blackness in the United States. Adapted from the groundbreaking text and brought to life through dynamic panel discussions, this self-paced program illuminates how whiteness was legally constructed as a political identity, how anti-Blackness became embedded in every American institution, and how these structures continue to shape contemporary life, behavior, and public policy. Each video discussion features expert dialogue that breaks down complex historical and psychological concepts into clear, accessible insight—connecting colonial law, social conditioning, epigenetics, and the formation of the white racial frame. Together, the panels analyze the cultural origins of whiteness; the legal codification of human hierarchy from the 1400s forward; the creation of racialized trauma; and the evolution of white psychopathy and collective narcissism as recurring features of American power. Across the ten modules, participants explore:

• The legal invention of whiteness and the color-based caste system that shaped modern institutions The mechanics of anti-Blackness in religion, law, medicine, education, policing, and economics
• The psycho-cognitive defense mechanisms of whiteness and their manifestations in interpersonal and structural contexts
• Collective psychosis and white identity formation, grounded in clinical, historical, and sociological research
• Black survival responses and intergenerational trauma, including insights from epigenetics and stress biology
• Contemporary expressions of racial violence, from policing to media, and how they trace back to earlier legal frameworks
• Tools for healing, accountability, and institutional transformation

Every module concludes with curated reflection questions designed to deepen understanding, prompt personal introspection, and guide learners toward applied antiracist practice. These reflection prompts help participants analyze their own environments—workplaces, communities, congregations, and institutions—through a sharper, historically grounded lens.

By the end of the course, participants leave with a profound understanding of:

• How whiteness functions as a psychological, political, and institutional project
• Why anti-Blackness is foundational to American identity and governance How racial trauma is produced and reproduced
• What meaningful antiracism requires at the personal, organizational, and societal level
• This is not simply a course—it is a clinical, historical, and cultural excavation designed to expose the roots of racial harm while equipping learners with the intellectual and emotional tools to confront and dismantle it.
• Whether you are an educator, clinician, organizer, student, policymaker, or someone seeking to understand racism beyond surface-level “diversity” narratives, this course offers an accessible yet deeply scholarly journey through the truths America has long avoided.
