What is melanin Dr. Welsing?
What is melanin? The idea it is worth more than gold came to me after these words: “Melanin is a chemical. Chemicals have a dollar value. What is the dollar value of melanin? Melanin is a chemical. Chemicals have a dollar value. Does melanin have a dollar value?” Quote from the book “Melanin is worth more than gold.” Here is the very first time I heard the word melanin. That word first came to…

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing - Color Confrontation Theory (Black Journal In...
youtube
Race in itself is a social construct and when I see and hear scientists using this same ideology irritates the hell out of me. I agree with some of the things that Dr. Welsing is saying because I studied her works and I too saw the difference between people who call themselves white with being inferior to everyone who has Dark skin.
Melanin plays more about the brain than it does anywhere else within the human anatomy; especially when it's behavior and intelligence. I found in my research that people who call themselves white are absolute idiots and ignorant people who try to convince the world that they are smarter than anyone else even though if we apply logic to their beliefs, we will find that these stupid people are anything else other than intelligent.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing (March 18, 1935 - January 2, 2016) a psychiatrist known for writing The Isis Papers, was born Frances Luella Cress in Chicago. She was the child of physician Henry Cress and teacher Ida Mae Griffen and grew up the middle of three daughters. She received her BS from Antioch College and her MD from Howard University.
She pursued a career in child and general psychiatry. She spent nearly twenty-five years working as a staff physician for DC’s Department of Human Services and as the clinical director of two schools catering to children with emotional troubles. She opened her private practice in DC in 1967.
She published “The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation” as an essay. She argued that the drive for white supremacy and superiority stems from a pervasive feeling of inadequacy and inferiority. She claimed that “whiteness” was, in fact, a deficiency, evidenced by the inability of whites and other races to produce melanin which generates skin color. In short, white people in America could not cohabit peacefully with their Black peers, because of a deep-seated jealousy of people with melanin and their embrace of racial supremacy to accommodate these feelings.
She published The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors, which discussed in depth the issues of white supremacy and racism in the US. In The Isis Papers, she delved deeper into her theories of melanin deficiency among whites as the driver of racism, white supremacy, and white segregation. She discussed the importance of recognizing racial behaviors and symbols among Blacks that were psychologically damaging and that needed to be countered and destroyed. She listed among those behaviors, homosexuality, which she claimed was a strategy for destroying Black people.
She was an advocate for a strong African American family unit. She advised Black men and women to delay having children until their thirties and instead take the time to educate themselves to rear the next generation of high-functioning and disciplined African Americans who could challenge white supremacy. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #zetaphibeta #womenshistorymonth

Happy EarthDay Dr. Frances Cress Welsing...
Frances Cress Welsing (born Frances Luella Cress; March 18, 1935 – January 2, 2016) was an American Afrocentrist psychiatrist. The second of three girls, Welsing was born into a family that had already produced two doctors. After receiving her bachelor’s degree from Antioch College in 1957, and her M.D. at Washington D.C.’s Howard University College of Medicine five years later, Welsing pursued a career in general and child psychiatry.
In 1970, her essay The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy) was published while she was an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Howard University College of Medicine. This striking theory of the origins of racism is rooted in the effects that varying degrees of melanin—the color-producing pigment in skin —can have on racial perception and development. “The quality of whiteness is a genetic inadequacy or a relative deficiency or disease based upon the inability to produce the skin pigments of melanin which are responsible for all skin color,” she explained in the essay, adding, “The majority of the world’s people are not so afflicted, suggesting that the state of color is the norm for human beings and [its] absence is abnormal.”In 1991 she authored The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors, a central and core argument for the African origins of civilization through the highlighting of the achievements of African/Egyptian pioneers in the areas of architecture, science, philosophy, and humanism. These origins are often re-colored and re-stated through Eurocentric fabrications, including the fact that some scholars have even dismissed ‘The Papers’ as not having made a direct link between racism and oppression, or even resistance to oppression.
Not surprisingly, Welsing’s views about global white supremacy and racism in contemporary society have provoked controversy and stimulated debate in and outside of the black community. In 1974, Dr. Welsing debated Dr. William Shockley, the author of a theory of black genetic inferiority, on national public television. Her theory challenged former definitions of racism put forth by social and behavioral scientists. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Welsing was praised in the Los Angeles Times for being “the first scientist to psychoanalyze white racism” in the history of Western psychiatry, rather than focusing on the victims of racism.

10 BLACK SCHOLARS WHO DEBUNKED EUROCENTRIC PROPAGANDA October 6, 2013 | Posted by A Moore DR. CHEIKH ANTA DIOP SENEGALESE-BORN Cheikh Anta Diop (1923 – 1986) received his DOCTORATE DEGREE from the University of Paris and was a BRILLIANT historian, anthropologist, physicist and politician and one of the most PROMINENT AND PROFICIENT black scholars in the HISTORY of African civilization. Contrary to the long-standing EUROPEAN MYTH of a Caucasian Egypt, Diop’s studies into ORIGINS of the human race and PRECOLONIAL AFRICAN CULTURE established that ANCIENT EGYPT was founded, populated, AND ruled by black Africans; the Egyptian language and culture STILL EXISTS in modern African languages (including his own Wolof language); and that BLACK EGYPT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RISE OF CIVILIZATION throughout Africa AND the Mediterranean, INCLUDING Greece and Rome. Diop ALSO pioneered techniques of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH – such as CARBON DATING as a means of dating artifacts and remains, and the MELANIN DOSAGE TEST which he used to VERIFY the melanin content of Egyptian mummies. Forensic investigators LATER ADOPTED THIS TECHNIQUE to determine the “racial identity” of badly burned accident victims. Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, Senegal, is named after him. Source: cheikhantadiop.com DR. JOHN HENRIK CLARKE Dr. John Henrik Clarke (1915 – 1998) was a Pan-Africanist writer, historian, professor, and a pioneer in the establishment of Africana studies in PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTIONS in academia starting in the late 1960s. He was professor of AFRICAN WORLD HISTORY and in 1969, he became the FOUNDING chairman of the Department of BLACK AND PUERTO RICAN STUDIES AT HUNTER COLLEGE of the City University of New York. He ALSO was the Carter G. Woodson Distinguished Visiting Professor of African History at Cornell University’s Africana Studies and Research Center. He CHALLENGED the mostly white academic historians and attributed THEIR RELUCTANCE TO ACKNOWLEDGE the HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTIONS of black people as part of the systematic AND racist suppression and distortion of African history. Clarke asserted: ”NOTHING IN AFRICA HAD ANY EUROPEAN INFLUENCE BEFORE 332 B.C. If you have 10,000 YEARS behind you before you even SAW A EUROPEAN, then WHO GAVE YOU THE IDEA that he moved from the ICE-AGE, came all the way into Africa AND built a great civilization AND disappeared, when he had NOT built a shoe for himself or a house with a window?” Source: Africana.library.cornell.edu/africana/clarke/index.html DR. MARIMBA ANI Dr. Marimba Ani is an ANTHROPOLOGIST AND AFRICAN STUDIES SCHOLAR best known for her book “YURUGU,” a comprehensive critique of European thought and culture. She COMPLETED her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Chicago, and holds MASTERS AND DOCTORATE DEGREES in anthropology from the Graduate Faculty of the New School University. In her GROUND-BREAKING WORK, “Yurugu: An Afrikan-Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior,” Ani uses an AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE through the myths of the DOGON PEOPLE and the LANGUAGE OF SWAHILI to examine the IMPACT of European cultural influence on black people and the world. She DEVELOPED a framework that METHODICALLY DEBUNKED the belief that Western civilization was the best, most constructive society ever built and instead she pointed out its inherent DESTRUCTIVE tendencies. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marimba_Ani DR. AMOS WILSON Dr. Amos N. Wilson (1941 – 1995) was a SOCIAL CASEWORKER, PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELOR, SUPERVISING PROBATION OFFICER and TRAINING ADMINISTRATOR in the New York City Department of Juvenile Justice. He was ALSO an assistant professor of psychology at the City University of New York. In his book “Black-on-Black Violence: The Psychodynamic of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination,” Wilson, DISCREDITED THE PERVASIVE MYTH that blacks are inherently criminal. NOT ONLY did he chronicle the vast history of VIOLENCE that was pervasive in American culture, but he ALSO demonstrated HOW black-on-black violence and black male criminality in the United States WAS A POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY ENGINEERED PROCESS designed to MAINTAIN the subservience and relative powerlessness of black people and black communities worldwide. However, Wilson contended that bringing an END to black-on-black violence and criminality is the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL BLACK PEOPLE. In his book he lays out practical AND theoretical ways of eradicating it. Source: Awis.scripterz.org IVAN VAN SERTIMA Dr. Ivan Gladstone Van Sertima (1935 – 2009) was a Guyanese-born ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He was BEST KNOWN for his work “They Came before Columbus,” which provided a PYRAMID OF EVIDENCE to support the IDEA that ANCIENT AFRICANS WERE MASTER SHIPBUILDERS who sailed from AFRICA TO THE AMERICAS THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus, and that the Africans TRADED with the indigenous people, leaving lasting influences on their cultures. In one example, Van Sertima presents EVIDENCE that EMPEROR ABUBAKARI OF MALI used these “almadias” or longboats to make a TRIP TO THE AMERICAS during the 1300s. Van Sertima methodically demonstrates that these blacks WERE NOT SLAVES, but traders and priests who were HONORED AND VENERATED BY THE NATIVE AMERICANS who built statues – Olmec heads- IN THEIR HONOR. In the closing of the book, he declaimed the notion of “discovery” by Columbus. In 1987, Van Sertima TESTIFIED before a United States congressional committee to OPPOSE RECOGNITION of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ “discovery” of the Americas. He said, “You CANNOT really conceive of how INSULTING it is to Native Americans … to be TOLD they were discovered.” Source: raceandhistory.com/historicalviews/ancientamerica.htm DR. FRANCES CRESS WELSING Dr. Frances Cress Welsing is an African-American PSYCHIATRIST practicing in Washington, D.C. She is noted for authoring the “Cress Theory of Color Confrontation” and “The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors,” which explore AND define the global system of white supremacy. In “The Isis Papers,” Welsing contradicts the notion that white supremacy was rooted in an idea of genetic superiority. Instead, she presents a PSYCHOGENETIC THEORY suggesting whites FEAR genetic annihilation because their genes ARE recessive to the majority of the world’s population, which consists of people of color – the most threatening being black. Therefore they established white supremacy to PREVENT people of color from diluting their genes and subsequently rendering them extinct. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances Cress Welsing DR. YOSEF BEN-JOCHANNAN Dr. Yosef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan, also known as Dr. Ben, is an Ethiopian-Puerto Rican WRITER, HISTORIAN AND EGYPTOLOGIST. Ben-Jochannan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in CIVIL ENGINEERING at the University of Puerto Rico in 1938, and earned his master’s degree in ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING from the University of Havana, Cuba in 1938. He received his doctoral degrees in CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND MOORISH HISTORY from the University of Havana and the University of Barcelona, Spain, respectively. Ben-Jochannan is the AUTHOR OF 49 books, primarily on ancient Nile Valley civilizations AND their impact on Western cultures. One of Dr. Ben’s most thought-provoking works, “African Origins of the Major ‘Western Religions’” (1970), highlights how the roots of Judaism, Christianity and Islam originated in black Africa. He also ARGUES that the ORIGINAL JEWS WERE FROM ETHIOPIA AND WERE BLACK AFRICANS, while the European Jews later ADOPTED the Jewish faith and its customs. http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/yosef-ben-jochannan-41 http://www.raceandhistory.com/Historians/ben_jochannan.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosef_Ben-Jochannan DR. ANTHONY MARTIN Dr. Anthony Martin (1942 – 2013) was a Trinidadian-born PROFESSOR of Africana Studies at Wellesley College, Massachusetts. He was a lecturer AND prolific author of scholarly articles about black history AND was considered the world’s foremost AUTHORITY ON JAMAICAN BLACK NATIONALIST LEADER MARCUS GARVEY. Martin authored, compiled or edited 14 BOOKS, his earliest work being “Race First: The Ideological and Organizational Struggles of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association” (1976). In his works on Garvey, Martin used his scholarship to COUNTERACT attempts by the mainstream to mischaracterize and deny Garvey’s TRUE LEGACY as one of the GREATEST black leaders of all time. When Martin detailed the ROLE European Jews played in the transatlantic slave trade in his book, “The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews,” the professor found himself the subject of a CHARACTER ASSASSINATION campaign, which is ONGOING even after his death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_%28professor%29 http://www.blackbluedog.com/2013/01/news/dr-tony-martin-noted-scholar-and-proponent-of-pan-africanism-passes-away/ DR.

His BEST KNOWN work is “The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.”, for which he was AWARDED honors by the Black Academy of Arts and Letters. In “Destruction of Black Civilization,” Williams chronicles how HIGH CIVILIZATION BEGAN IN BLACK AFRICA, contrary to what mainstream historians have espoused to the world. He meticulously lays out the history of Africa in GREAT DETAIL AND DEMONSTRATES that the continent’s current underdevelopment came after thousands of years of consistent onslaught by Eurasians, and not because Africans made no significant contributions to the world. http://aalbc.com/authors/chancell.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chancellor_Williams www.goodreads.com/author/show/72450.Chancellor_Williams DR. GEORGE G.M. JAMES Dr. George Granville Monah James (unknown – 1954) was a well-regarded historian and author from Georgetown, Guyana. He’s best known for his 1954 book “Stolen Legacy,” in which he PRESENTED EVIDENCE that Greek philosophy ORIGINATED IN ANCIENT EGYPT. He gained his DOCTORATE DEGREE at Columbia University in New York, became a PROFESSOR OF LOGIC AND GREEK at Livingstone College in Salisbury, N. C., for two years, and then taught at the University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff. In “Stolen Legacy,” James painstakingly DOCUMENTS the African ORIGINS of Greco-Roman philosophical thought. He asserted that “Greek philosophy” WAS NOT created by the Greeks at all, instead it was BORROWED WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the ancient Egyptians. James even CHALLENGED the foundations of Judaism AND Judeo-Christianity and argued that the STATUE of the EGYPTIAN GODDESS ISIS with her child Horus in her arms is the ORIGIN of the Virgin Mary and child. He MYSTERIOUSLY DIED, shortly after publishing Stolen Legacy. http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/george-gm-james-guyanas-shining-star-a-tribute/ Artwork by: Citizins

Repost from @ministerinforming • #Repost @ministerinforming with @make_repost ・・・ A Momentin #blackhistory . Frances Luella Welsing was an American Afrocentrist psychiatrist and black supremacist. Her 1970 essay, The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism, offered her interpretation on the origins of what she described as white supremacy culture. She was the author of The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors. . . Welsing stated that the emasculation of the black man prevents procreation of black people. According to Welsing, this is one of the goals of racism (white supremacy). She calls this effeminization as a form of oppression. An extension of feminizing black men is also described by Welsing as bisexuality and homosexuality. (at Amerikkka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTXAgfSAXNB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Melanin Myth #6: Melanin Theory
Melanin Myth #6: Melanin Theory
This is part six in a ten part series on melanin myths. This myth addresses the so-called “melanin theory.”
“White melanin Theory.” That is how the idea of a “melanin theory” first was identified. In the 1915 article “A Contribution to our Knowledge of the Chemistry of Coat-Colour in Animals and of Dominant and Recessive Whiteness” H. Onslow sets out to address the “cause of dominant whiteness.”…

@Regranned from @blissalexandra - Dr Frances Cress Welsing 👸🏾 (1935-2016) Scholar, Author, Activist, Researcher, Physician. _ Dr Welsing was a Howard Graduate and has done extensive research on colourism, racism and white supremacy. She quickly became famous for her paper ‘Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation’ and she is also author of the HIGHLY recommended ‘ISIS Papers’, which I’m yet to read. __ What intrigued me most about her and her work was her views on homosexuality and the destruction of the black man (especially about the sagging of the black mans pants) which can cause some controversy in today’s society but she definitely puts everything into context and approaches it from a psychological, systematic point of view. _ Very powerful and educated woman who Was of service to the people and her work and wisdom lives on and educates today. _ To hear her speak more on this, search for: ‘Dr Frances Cress Welsing - The Psychological Slavery of Black People in the Media’ on YouTube and she also features in ‘Hidden Colours’ #blackhistorywithblissful - #regrann
