CARTER, M .O. | Dorothea. Dlx Hosftrficd a SELF ESTEEM Is blackpride a myth or some thing we hope to acquire at some future date? I raise this ques tion after having met with a group of prospective black phy sicians at a nearby university. lt a3| interest in These students v ere all rising college seniors and had been se lected to parti cipate in a pro gram over the summer which hopefully would create a greater medicine. Dr. Spurlock, chair man. department of psychiatry at Meharry Medical College was the principal guest speaker and was quite successful in getting the students to let surface some rather strange feelings about themselves. As they express ed themselves it became clear that unconsciously they were un accepiing of their blackness. Never before had they once thought that many of their nega tive feelings about themselves were reflective of racism, pass ed from generation to genera tion. An example of their racist attitudes is that one student stated that he had been terri bly disappointed in a black opthalmologist (eye specialist) back in his hometown. He felt that blacks (all) were poor busi men, careless and irresponsi ble. To support his statement he told of having gone to a white psysician and there he received the best of care. One cannot help but wonder to what extent this was psychologically based. The unfortunate thing is that he failed to understand that once he becomes a professional these same set of feelings will be at tributed to him by other blacks. He, too, will have to bear the burden of being the sterotyped incompetent black professional. Moreover, a few days ago 1 overheard a black friend who had become upset because a black auto-mechanic had failed to do what had been expected. This was said to be “typical of black business'’. It seems that satisfactory service had been obtained from a white busi ness. This was all that was needed to confirm these latent or unconscious feelings about incompetent and unprofessional blacks as we are aware that they do exist. However, we question if the incompetence is due to ones race or some other factors, such as financial resources. Looking back, many valuable black institutions have been lost because blacks failed to believe that they could do an adequate job and refused to support these Institutions. A good example of this is the black hospitals and treatment facilities. There were times when these facilities were Wake Vounteers Attend Black Fire man's Meet BY C.
