Abstract
The access of the black population to higher education occurred at a later date due to the colonial and slave consequences of Brazil. One of the major problems, in addition to the difficulty of entry of this population to education, is the permanence of black students in the academic environment, especially due to the harmful effect of racism that directly impacts on subjectivity and causes suffering. This paper aims to critically reflect on the psychic illness of young people entering university, considering the advances and setbacks of higher education in the country. In addition, it seeks to investigate how the incidences of racism, colonialism and capitalism cross the mental health of the black population in their academic training process. From the provocation launched if black lives matter in the university, it is also intended to point out possible paths to be followed, based on the decolonizing conception of thought and racialized listening.
