Racial identity and racial socialization are concepts which could have multiple connotations in the study of psychological distress.

If we seriously consider the authors’ reasoning in the article, society as well as social scientists, practitioners, and counselors will rethink the idea of racial socialization and address issues of socialization within society among specific marginalized peoples. If we do not consider the reasoning of the authors in the article, we could subscribe to the notion of a color-blind society, suggesting everyone have the same experiences, opportunities, and racial socialization exposures.
