"Black & Blue" is the first systematic description of how
American doctors think about racial differences and how this kind
of thinking affects the treatment of their black patients. The
standard studies of medical racism examine past medical abuses of
black people and do not address the racially motivated thinking and
behaviors of physicians practicing medicine today."Black &
Blue" penetrates the physicianOCOs private sphere where racial
fantasies and misinformation distort diagnoses and treatments.
Doctors have always absorbed the racial stereotypes and folkloric
beliefs about racial differences that permeate the general
population. Within the world of medicine this racial folklore has
infiltrated all of the medical sub-disciplines, from cardiology to
gynecology to psychiatry. Doctors have thus imposed white or black
racial identities upon every organ system of the human body, along
with racial interpretations of black children, the black elderly,
the black athlete, black musicality, black pain thresholds, and
other aspects of black minds and bodies. The American medical
establishment does not readily absorb either historical or current
information about medical racism. For this reason, racial
enlightenment will not reach medical schools until the current
race-aversive curricula include new historical and sociological
perspectives."
