Abstract
This work intends to discuss the incidence of mental illnesses promoted through racism practiced in a subliminal and harmful and incisive way in Brazilian society and how these practices affect the people who suffer because of their blackness, establishing relations of the subject with the psychological consequences. This study seeks to promote a reflection on the omission and scarcity of a more critical view of Brazilian psychology for the theme proposed here, through a literary review. Patterns built up over centuries of white and catholic domination were introjected into the mentality, personality, family and group life in relation to Afrodescendants, generating a denial of their identity, which causes suffering, conflicts, disorders and social inequalities. The psychological effects that racism causes, shape the conduct, the way, the thought and the feelings of the subject.
