What is Psychopolitics

This chapter focuses on the politics of servitude and/or the slave mentality. It will explore the human rights abuses that the African slaves endured after being kidnapped or traded from indentureship from warring tribes – by the hands of the White man. Due to that colonized relationship, many Africans and then Blacks or African Americans felt a sense of inferiority. That sense of inferiority was caused by a narcissistic relationship where the owner who saw the African or the Black as property put themselves in the place of God and harshly treated their property as an “it.” Over 100 years later, a remnant of that psychological abuse is left.
