Christian Counselor Wants To Heal White Americans Of "Post-Traumatic Slave MASTER Disorder"
Nathaniel McGuire, MFT, speaks on a panel for Renewal Church of Chicago's "Annual Gospel and Race Conversation" where he coins a novel diagnosis for white Americans.
--TRANSCRIPT HIGHLIGHTS--
Racism is simply a disease that's passed down from generation to generation...in order for something to be a diagnosis or issue, a majority of the population can't have it. It has to be rare. So then, therefore, [the APA] concluded that it cannot be a disorder. This is our history, right? So what if racism is a disorder and the majority of the white population does have it? They're dealing with a mental illness and they don't even know it.
...
The main thing that is causes is a superiority complex...many times we deal with the inferiority complex. We constantly talk about what racism has done to African-Americans and their issues and the pathology of that. But we don't deal with the people who are dealing with the trauma of post-traumatic slave MASTER disorder. We're not even dealing with it...Neither of these complexes, inferiority or superiority, are of God. Neither of them are. So mental health helps us deal with that, shed that, and allows us to have the mind of Christ so we can love one another.
