"Regardless of what Black people ultimately decide about the questions of separation, integration, segregation, revolution, or reform, it is vitally important that we develop, out of the authentic experience of Black people in this country, an accurate workable theory of Black psychology. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to understand the lifestyles of Black people using traditional theories developed by White psychologists to explain White people.
Moreover, when these traditional theories are applied to the lives of Black folks many incorrect, weakness-dominated, and inferiority-oriented conclusions come about. "
