“The main goal is to help White individuals become better allies.”
That’s how one speaker at the American Psychological Association’s conference described a program that uses clinical therapy techniques to influence people’s beliefs and behavior about race.
What followed was even more disturbing. Speakers promoted “antiracism” as a way to “redistribute power” and instructed “White allies” to “stay in their lane.”

The first speaker, Spelman College professor Natalie Watson-Singleton, attacked “anti-DEI policies” and called for intentional action to “disrupt racism” and “redistribute power individually, culturally and systemically.”
The second, University of Louisville professor Yara Mekawi, directs the Challenging Ongoing Legacies of Racism -- or COLOR -- Lab. She described using cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to help White participants overcome resistance and regulate their emotions when confronted about race.
These methods were created to help people struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, and other serious mental health concerns. They should not be used to pressure people into prescribed racial roles or train them to accept someone else’s political agenda.
The APA gave this political activism the credibility of its professional platform. Now they need to be held accountable.
