Society's indifference hurts black families
By EDDIE WILLIAMS IN Staff Reporter
The closeness of black American families is being threatened by society, psychiatrist Alvin Poussain said last night.
Pousaint spoke to about 50 people in the Kansas Union. The talk was part of the Black History Month celebration, by the office of minority affairs.
The American system is often not interested in the black community, Poussain said.
"In some parts of the country you would think that black women were not raped," he said. "The media told me the news in black communities."
Poussain agreed with black psychiatrists who said the kinship of black Americans had been their strength.
'But that kinship is threatened when you have shows on television that show the good guy always
winning with violence," he said. "Blacks often kill each other for petty reasons.
"The black man's ego becomes so fragile (because of discrimination) that he doesn't stop to think about it." The fragile angel's ego makes him pull the trigger.
The characteristics of the black community work against black children because America doesn't blend dark traits important, he said.
"Teachers are sometimes frightened of black male children," he said. "They are afraid of their potential aggression."
He said those and other social pressures promoted a self-hate image among blacks.
"The black is beautiful movement did not do what it should have done." "I still have a long way to go before we shall be the black pride that we should have."

Police found drugs on Moody and in the car. The other man, police said, convinced them that he had just met them in a bar. They told about the drugs, so he was not arrested.

Moody also is accused of giving false information following his arrest, Malone said. He apparently signed a false name on his bond release. However, authorities have yet to file formal charges against him for it.
Moody is being held on $3,000 bond.
