I argue here that to emerge from crisis and bring about institutional and individual transformation, psychoanalysis and psychology must acknowledge and integrate into its theory and practices the crucial role that unequal social systems play in subject formation. The cost of not doing so is to perpetuate the systemic ills that directly and indirectly are responsible for most of our social and individual suffering. With regard, in particular, to the racial reckoning that many of our white-dominated institutions and white practitioners have undertaken in the past few years, I argue that disavowal of the systemic has taken the form of impeding anti-Black antiracism work by substituting in its place “diversity” initiatives that deny power differentials and merely celebrate differences.
