- Abstract
The psycho-cultural decimation of African-U.S. people descended from enslaved Africans at the hands of Caucasian Americans and American civilization itself is described. The processes employed in effecting this decimation are mentacidal and amount to psychological warfare. The results have inferiorized African-U.S. people and as a consequence placed them in extremis. This state of affairs is seen as warranting the crimes against humanity label. The fully 40 psycho-cultural perpetrations visited on the victims are identified and analyzed. Reparations in the domain of psycho-cultural destruction are seen to be in order and must be included in any costing formula along with reparations down payments advocated by the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N'COBRA) in the domains of economic development, political prisoners, prisoners in general, education, and individual reparations (payments to individuals). The mental health and social science professions, especially psychology and psychiatry, are entreated to advocate for and participate in reparations payments.
