Black alienation is a social phenomenon, not merely individual psychology.

Evidence

Reacting against the constitutionalist tendency of the late nineteenth century, Freud insisted that the individual factor be taken into account through psychoanalysis. He substituted for a phylogenetic theory the ontogenetic perspective. It will be seen that the black man’s alienation is not an individual question. Beside phylogeny and ontogeny stands sociogeny. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 45 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
