The obstacles posed by racism cross the black population negatively in different spheres and senses. They are legacies of history that present themselves clearly or cover up to the present day, and when related to old age, the topics that make up racism are amplified and take on new facets. Psychosocial concepts are directly influenced by the perpetuation of the hierarchical model of races, directly influencing socioeconomic elements, health inequalities, family demands, violence, among other unfavorable experiences of the black population from birth to old age. In this way, the psychological practice based on an ethical and political action becomes necessary as opposed to such racist practices still contemporary – marking itself as the purpose of this study to ratify this recommendation; Thus, this psychological practice shows its relevance as a scientific and methodological praxis in the rupture with a past that is still present.
