The Medicalization (Drugging) of Black Youth – ABC’s of Oppression and Genocide

I did not finish seeking out the rest of the videos of this lecture.  I feel that this part was efficient enough to get to the point.  Prof. Amos Wilson talks about how drugs is just being placed upon you by those you trust.  The doctor says or the state says, that is how we go by.  Because a person shows signs of misconduct, he or she is automatically sick in some way.  There is something not normal about this child or person and we need to cure them.  Even though they actually are just being a little overactive.  He further explains how when there is a change in the brain, it is nothing but an experience the brain is gaining and reacting to it and becoming stimulated, it should not be said to be a problem or sickness.  Society is helping the brain change and they also make the claim of saying there is something wrong.  So it is not the children that has the problem, it is society.  Society puts the blame on the children having problems just because they do not want to try and help, putting a label on them and having it packed away in a easy to resolve situation.  Your child is loud and disruptive, he needs to be treated for something.  It is just a quick fix solution to those who want the easy way out of a situation and if it hurts someone it does not affect them because these people are fixing them for normal society.
