This book is a must read for anybody who dares to bare witness to the psychopatic aberrant behavior found among the professional and general white population!

Bobby E. Wright was a man of huge understanding and acute perceptual ability. It is sad that he did not have the opportunity to put more of his thought to print before his passing. He is survived by a few audio recordings and,more importantly, a legion of thinkers created conteporaneously and also in his wake. I speak of Frances Cress Welsing,"Isis Papers". Dr. Naim Akbar "Community of Self", etc, etc,... Dr. Amos Wilson "Black on Black Violence: African Self Annihilation in service to European Domination". Dr. Nathan & Julia Hare "Endagered Black Family", and "Crisis in Black Sexual Politics" (etc..) And countless other Psychologists and Historians too numerous to metion.

This is a tremendously provocative work. It expresses theses which the open-minded reader must concede are tenable, albeit they may be hard to digest. Many times Truth is hard to digest. We can debate on the merit of Wright's opinions all day long. We all know that pyschology is not an exact science. This book's greatness is not based on your agreement or disagreement with its positions. This is a great book because it is thought provoking and revolutionary. It expresses theories that you have probably never conceived. So whether you consider Wright's arguments sophistry or indeed true, you have to agree that most of the ideas expressed are plasusible. Because pyschology is basically a science of opinion, the ideas of most great pyschologists were perceived outrageous by many (e.g., Freud, Jung, Watson, etc.). Wright's ideas are similiar to those of the aforementioned pyschologists in that they are controversial but great.

Bobby Wright and his contemporaries were prevalent in the formation of my understanding of life at that particular time...His works are must readings for both races...give insights into why certain phenomenons occur...and how best to reconcile and remedy....

The Psychopathic Racial Personality is a work on race relations. It is one of the works that should be read by serious minded black people everywhere who are dedicated and committed to raising their consciousness level.

This book brings alive the shocking reality about psychopaths. A good book to read for all. I would definately recommend this book.

In this book the late African-American clinical psychologist, Bobby E. Wright, expounds upon the possible reasons for the white race's documented hostility toward and mistreatment of people of color around the globe. It's a "hot button" topic, for sure, so if you're white (or any other color/ethnicity) and easily angered by discussions about white culpability for a large share of the universal suffering of Blacks and other people of color, do not purchase and read this book, for obvious (?) reasons.

If, however, you're white (or any other color/ethnicity), sufficiently open-minded and reasonably familiar with the documented history of the relations between whites and people of color, and if you're interested in "being part of the solution rather the problem," then by all means purchase and read this book.

That's all, folks!
