Coping
The
Psychological
Dynamics
:Of Racism: Part II
.. , . By Dr. Charles W. Faulkner
.'By Charles W. Faulkner
In my last column, I
.presented the remarks of
Jim a young, white
. government ad
ministratorvThe remarks,,
which were obtained dur
ing an interview, indicated
the subconscious, condi
tioned nature of racism. ;
Jim's interview revealed '
the following points: (1).
He did not consider
himself to be prejudiced
because he never actually
compares himself- 'to'
blacks in a conscious man
. ner; (2) He was not able toj
provide a logical argument;
in favor of white
"superiority" and black
"inferiority." (3) The
presence of black people,
served as a means of help
ing him to recapture self-;
esteem lost during an
argument with his boss or
his wife. (4) When his life
becomes depressing, he
can become . immediately
uplifted by treating blacks
as if they are less compe
tent than he. And (5) He
does not know how he
would maintain his emo
tional stability if blacks
did not exist.
If Jim's comments are,
as he felt, representative
of the typical attitude of
whites toward blacks,
several significant in
ferences may be made: (1)
Racist or discriminatory
behavior of whites is con
ditioned and learned early
in ttheir childhood. (2)
Whites respond with
negative behavior toward
blacks in an almost
peremptory manner
without realizing that they
are doing so. (3) Rude
behavior of many whites
provides them with an
easily accessible means of
releasing their penfup
emotions and frustrations:
(4) The treatment of
blacks by white provides
whites with . a much
needed feeling of
"superiority."
(5) Blacks provide a
psychological crutch for
whites in the sense that
whites actually "need"
blacks ' emotionally in
order to eliminate theirj
stress and retain their own-
emotional stability. (6) If,
blacks did not exist,
whites would find it
. s
necessary to exploit,
mistreat, abuse or relegate!
someone else to an in
ferior position. (7) Blacks
are the recipients of racial
abuse for the singular (
reason that their dark
complexions make them
stand out as the "easy to
find" traditional whipp
ing boy. '
(8) Blacks have
developed a strong need to
be accepted by whites and
this factor makes
discriminatory rejection
even more psychologically
devastating for blacks.
' And, (9) The constant re
jection of blacks has
developed a deen-seated
self-hatred within blacks.
In my next column, I
will analyze the effect of
discrimination on black
i people.

NCCU Dean Urges Attention
To Information Needs
Of RlacH People
SAN FRANCISCO -'
Library collections of
materials by and about
black people are inade
quate or inaccessible, and
thenited States does not
trait) enough black
librarians, according to
Dr. Annette L. Phinazee,
Dean of the North
Carplina Central Universi
ty s;SchooI of Library
Science,
'tp testimony presented
Monday, June 29, to the
Task Force of Cultural
Minorities of the National
Commission on Libraries
' and Information Science,
Dfcjj Phinazee said,
',?iVf ri can- American,
materials are still lacking
in.; .-..certain areas and
unavailable in others."
She said that there is as yet
no bibliographic resource
which will identify the
locations across the nation
of.dmpbrtant collections
abeim black people.
- "She said grants from the
National Endowment for
th Humanities from the
Ford Foundation have
brought progress in the,
collections of African
American materials.
"Progress has been
toward recording ; and
.preserving works in the
black collections
'as those at Schom-
burg'.' Center; at Howard, -Fisk,
and Atlanta Univer
sities; and at Tuskcgee In
stitute. Other institutions
such as Yale University
and (he University of
Massachusetts have ac
quired major holdings
andor made them
available in recent years."
Dr. Phinazee said black
' Americans are particularly
in need of library access
through children's services
and outreach programs,
programs which bring
library services to people
despite inadequate educa
tion. - K
"As a library educator,
I continue to be concerned
about the very small
number of minority per
sons who are librarians,"
Dr. Phinazee said. She
said that the percentage of
librarians who are black
has declined since 1975.

He blamed the Reagan
Administration, with its
military budget and tough
talk, for intensifying the
military buildup and
warned that ' America
could not win the arms
race.
"Please bear in mind
that the Soviet Union will
never permit anybody to
achieve a military
superiority," said Dr.
Geevsky. "We consider
that it is very important
for international peace
and equality to keep
military parity. Our policy
is ; to achieve military
superiority to defend
ourselves and to
strengthen peace."

HDL levels," Dr. Haskell said. His study of 4,600 men
and women showed that exercise itself raised lipoprotein
levels after taking into account differences between ac
tive and inactive individuals in smoking and drinking
hibits and amount of body fat. He reported that exerN
rise ienreases a type of lipoprotein that is naturally
higher in women than in men and is believed to be one
factor explaining the relative Immunity of women to
heart attacks.
- In addition, a study of, 17,000 Harvard alumni shows
that those who are highly active have significantly fewer
heart attacks, regardless of whether they smoke cigaret
tes or have high blood pressure. The study suggests that
inactivity may be as important a factor in heart disease
as cigarette smoking.." Hv...r-:- 'u' '-.:oyy's
Dr. Falph Paffenbarger of Stanford University, who
studied the Harvard men, said that regular, vigorous ac
tivity reduces an individual's risk of heart attack by as
much as 35 per cent, whereas stopping smoking lowers
