For colonial subjects the racial trauma occurs in childhood schooling

Evidence

J. J. Thomas was one of those who expressed strong race pride. He was only too conscious of the extent of self-contempt and self-hatred among his fellow blacks in the West Indies. He saw how the values of white superiority had been internalised, with disastrous results. One factor in this process, in his view, was the education of young West Indians by white teachers. He thought their influence was ‘to a very great degree subversive of the national sentiment,’ by which he meant racial consciousness.” … “There were individually brilliant blacks. But there had to be ‘some potential agency to collect and adjust them into the vast engine essential for executing the true purposes of the civilised African Race.’” — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 2336 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
