Psychopathic Racial Personality and Other Essays

By Bobby E. Wright

Presents a thought-provoking examination of the group personality of Europeans, as manifest in their behavior towards Black people. In the essay ""The Psychopathic Racial Personality,"" Dr. Bobby Wright contends that viewing white behavior towards nonwhites as psychopathic provides a new lens through which to analyze and combat the actions and aims of Europeans. The essay ""Black Suicide: Lynching by Any Other Name"" positions the phenomenon of Black suicide within the context of centuries of white genocide. In other essays Dr. Wright discusses ways in which to best educate Black children and sheds new light on the evolution of white supremacy.

A psychopathic reality check

This book is a must read for anybody who dares to bare witness to the psychopatic aberrant behavior found among the professional and general white population!

Wonderful. Breathtaking.

This book brings alive the shocking reality about psychopaths. A good book to read for all. I would definately recommend this book.

Definitely something to make you think.

This is a tremendously provocative work. It expresses theses which the open-minded reader must concede are tenable, albeit they may be hard to digest. Many times Truth is hard to digest. We can debate on the merit of Wright's opinions all day long. We all know that pyschology is not an exact science. This book's greatness is not based on your agreement or disagreement with its positions. This is a great book because it is thought provoking and revolutionary. It expresses theories that you have probably never conceived. So whether you consider Wright's arguments sophistry or indeed true, you have to agree that most of the ideas expressed are plasusible. Because pyschology is basically a science of opinion, the ideas of most great pyschologists were perceived outrageous by many (e.g., Freud, Jung, Watson, etc.). Wright's ideas are similiar to those of the aforementioned pyschologists in that they are controversial but great.

Seminal Work.

Bobby E. Wright was a man of huge understanding and acute perceptual ability. It is sad that he did not have the opportunity to put more of his thought to print before his passing. He is survived by a few audio recordings and,more importantly, a legion of thinkers created conteporaneously and also in his wake. I speak of Frances Cress Welsing,"Isis Papers". Dr. Naim Akbar "Community of Self", etc, etc,... Dr. Amos Wilson "Black on Black Violence: African Self Annihilation in service to European Domination". Dr. Nathan & Julia Hare "Endagered Black Family", and "Crisis in Black Sexual Politics" (etc..) And countless other Psychologists and Historians too numerous to metion.

Excellent exposition into the mentality of some.....

Bobby Wright and his contemporaries were prevalent in the formation of my understanding of life at that particular time...His works are must readings for both races...give insights into why certain phenomenons occur...and how best to reconcile and remedy....
