ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the concept of racism and Jungian language within the broader Jungian collective–analysts, practitioners, and individuals, such as people's poets and writers who deal with consciousness in a creative way. In 1987, Polly Young-Eisendrath wrote an article for The Quadrant Journal entitled “The Absence of Black Americans as Jungian Analysts.” Many Africanist people agree to let Whites say whatever they want because there is a cultural Africanist assumption that they will lie and make up stories about the African Diaspora to suit their need for power and privilege. African Americans held both the good and bad–the projection of wickedness and the “religious” saving of their souls through European religion. African Americans, by their lack of being “special” and being outside the “dominant” group, represent only a part of the White “sub” culture, continuing to live in Jungian thought as outside the homogeneity of Jungian psychology.
