Breaking Chains: Understanding and Overcoming Internalized Racism in the Black Community Join us on this episode of The Skelton Report as we explore the topic of Internalized Racism in the Black and African American community. We will take a deep dive into the concepts of psychoanalysis theory and defense mechanisms to understand how internalization operates in everyday life for Blacks and African Americans.

Don't miss out on this enlightening and thought-provoking discussion that is sure to leave you with a new perspective on the impact of racism on the Black community. References: * Fanon, F. (1952).
