Dr. Frances Cress Welsing Pt 1 of 2

For Welsing, the world's most pressing problem is the disturbing issue of white supremacy, or racism. "I put the discussion of melanin on the board in order to [describe how pigmentation] was a factor in what white supremacy behavior was all about," Welsing noted in an interview with Michael Eric Dyson for Emerge. "If I had my way, there wouldn't be all the discussion about melanin. I would say, Discuss white supremacy."
Welsing laid the foundation for her ongoing discussion of white supremacy in her groundbreaking 1970 essay The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism. In it, she reasoned that because whiteness is a color deficiency and white people make up only a small percentage of the earth's population, they tend to view people of color as a threat to their survival and therefore treat them with hostility. She stated that their defensive reaction has been to impose white supremacy, or racism, on people of color throughout history.
Basing part of her argument on observations by Neeley Fuller in his 1969 Textbook for Victims of White Supremacy, Welsing focused on his view of racism as a "universally operating 'system' of white supremacy rule and domination" in which the "majority of the world's white people participate." He suggested that economic forms of government such as capitalism and communism were created to perpetuate white domination and that the white "race" is really an "organization" dedicated to maintaining control over the world. In addition, he argued that people of color have never imposed "colored" supremacy on anyone.
Using Fuller's contention that "most white people hate black people [because] whites are not black people," Welsing went on to suggest that "any neurotic drive for superiority," in this case, the white drive, is based on a "deep and pervading sense of inadequacy and inferiority." Welsing cited journals, diaries, and books written by whites as examples of their "initial hostility and aggression" towards people of color and particularly towards black people "who have the greatest color potential and therefore are the most envied and the most feared in genetic color competition." She added: "That whites desire to have colored skin can be seen by anyone at the very first signs of Spring or Summer when they begin to strip off their clothes, often permitting their skins to be burned severely in an attempt to add some color to their white, pale, colorless bodies, rendering themselves vulnerable to skin cancer in the process."
Welsing asserted in The Cress Theory that many whites are unable to peacefully live among or attend school with people of color because it explodes "the myth of white superiority" and forces them to face their "psychological discomfort" and "color inadequacy." She also stated that "the difficulty whites have in according 'non-whites' socio-political and economic equality stems ... from the fundamental sense of their own unequal situation in regards to their numerical inadequacy and color deficiency." To compensate for this inadequacy, Welsing judged, whites strive to maintain a superior social position and manipulate non-whites and themselves into thinking that they are a worldwide numerical majority instead of the minority. In support of this conclusion, she cited statistics indicating that birth control is rarely emphasized for whites, while a great emphasis is placed on controlling the birthrates of people of color.
She concluded her Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation by arguing that people of color must gain a better understanding of the "behavioral maneuverings" of whites in order to avoid being "manipulated into a subordinated position." In her view, people of color need to "liberate" themselves psychologically from various forms of white domination. She also suggested that whites need to understand the motivation behind their behavior and explore with an open mind the emotional and psychological foundations of racism.
The issue of white supremacy is discussed in depth in Welsing's 1990 book The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors, a virtual fixture on the Blackboard African American Bestsellers List. In the book, the author uses America's preoccupation with sports to illustrate what she perceives to be white supremacist behavior in action: "The whole of white culture," she wrote in The Isis Papers, "is designed to say that whites have [certain] qualities. Everything possible is done to demonstrate this. First, you have [only] white players, then blacks come in, but a white has to be the quarterback. Western culture has to project white supremacy." Welsing further contended that when blacks succeed athletically, whites are forced "up against the psychological wall" because white youngsters are "brought up to believe a white has to be superior."

It seems strange that this tiny, inferior, white minority is able to enslave and maintain control for centuries over a planet of superior dark races who vastly outnumber them. What is going on here?

[aiynaiy]

@maxfirepower channel not available. I find that strange. But to your question. I presuppose it would depend on your definition of superior and inferior. Let us begin there.

Melanin is man-made,(miry clay/ dust), melanin is NOT natural; and the black caucasian genetic-Racessive Adamite race/ seed of man was eXtincted, ALL men are black caucasian genetic-recessive adamites, because the Y chromosome seed of the phallus is ONE black caucasian added man,(adam); white supremacy, patriarchy and oppression are the same thing, created by the RULE of man; the male race is the seed of the wicked.

[aiynaiy]

@july95211 Very interesting. Is there any scientific data I can research?

[Minhist]

Pseudoscience nothing more.

[aiynaiy]

@Minhist You could be correct. Do you care to expand?

[humblejumpify]

Dr. Welsing is much too sophisticated for this happy hour crowd. Ditto for Phil Donahue......this moron tried to distort Dr. Welsing's premiss--because that's what disinformation agents do. Hence Phil Donahue's b.s. sarcasm. But alas, Isis was much to learned and not once did she make a declarative statement!! Not once. They were all qualifiers. A sign of a true orator and intellectual.

@imbluz Correction:  No self respecting non-white person would defile and infect their gene pool with a "genetically" inferior lot of unjust, deceptive and violent non-human who classify themselves as a "race", whatever that is...

[Reido2828]

Sorry where can I join this powerful networkÉ It seems whites have a lot of power in the world and I was unaware of a lot of this. But I``m sick and tired of people blaming whitey for all their problems. Its used a scape goat now and nothing more. I`m tired of race baiting to and I^m tired of the drones regurgitating the stuff these intellectuals write about. Imagine a world where every man and woman thought for them selves. This would be a great world indeed but its a long off dream.

@AfricanPrincess999 Yeah, but then, who will do the work to pay for the welfare benefits, run the distilleries, or operate the free VD clinics?

[maxfirepower]

@daniels37 First, it's Carl Jung -with "J" and second, the typical American school is based on the old Prussian educational format and was before Darwin or Jung were ever heard from.

[maxfirepower]

@IVEGROWN12 I suggest then, that the "minorities" which you claim are "being controlled" stop indulging in misuse of "...drugs, guns, and liquor that the Government allows to be sold in the ghettos..." and do something worthwhile. The people actually raising their kids, inventing iPods, building automobiles, and growing the food bought with the food-stamps don't seem to be victims of this clever "Government" ploy.

Now, why is that?

[IVEGROWN12]

@maxfirepowwe The minorities are being controlled by the drugs, guns and liquor that the Government allows to be sold in the ghettos which is quite clever

[jerome4445]

@aiynaiy , SHE IS CONVINCED , ALONG WITH HER SILLY GROUP OF BLACK WOMEN , THAT THE BLACK MEN ARE THE DEVIL . You will never get a response any different then what she already posted. watch it and figure out whether to laugh or cry. uploaded by ORACLEALKHEMYSTERY...The black man is the devil.

[kaliz77]

They have but in place a mass plan to kill us off to maintain their race now since we have all been mixed together and are not separated any longer

[kaliz77]

She is right and now they have realized it there

[stardelorian]

see how the white masses takes things out of context..frances cress never said white people wanted to be black....she said they wanted to be darker....lol....stupid ass ignorant white people...

@july95211 It has been proven that the Y chromosome has less genetic material than the X chromosome. Would you mind PMing me with some sources/literary evidence? I'd appreciate it.
