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…

[caption id="attachment_13218" align="aligncenter" width="849"] Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop at university in Paris.[/caption] - SUMMARY: @TheAngryindian returns in this dispatch to deconstruct the sociopolitical and ideological millstones crushing critical-thought and progressive activism in North America and its ethnic/cultural sub-divisions. Indigenist theory aside, this spoken-word assessment (again) questions the nonsensical popular acceptance of doddery pseudoscientific beliefs and other wild conspiratorial theories based on nothing but the neoconservative desire to promote social confusion and instability. It is rarely pointed out that neo-cons work overtime using aggressive, arrogant rationalisations; deliberate misinterpretations and harridan-like spreading of flat-out falsehoods (via the internet) to justify traditional chauvinisms as well as their own petty, individual peeves and cultural anxieties. The host argues that until we decide to critique the social spaces where we happen to be by leaving them; to really see them as they are through a different context/perspective(s), our thinking will/can always be subject to unacknowledged parochialism and easily confused with a self-assured objectivity that isn’t neutral at all. EXTRAS: Political clips; socially-conscious PSA’s and an archived interview between legendary American African broadcaster Listervelt Middleton and Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop on subjects related to Pan-Africanism, African history and his elemental theories regarding the cultural and ethnic foundations of the Mother Continent round-out this IRB programme.

SCETV "STERLING STUCKEY" SLAVE CULTURE PART TWO 1988

27 min 43 sec

Sterling Stuckey, March 2, 1932 – August 15, 2018

“Delany suggests that tobacco, hemp, cotton and other crops were cultivated in North America by the Africans, initially, that they apparently taught whites how to do that. Just as the Africans were, in the main, the masters of horsemanship. So that in the 19th century in this country most of the great jockeys were black. The slaves who led the slavemasters through regions like this in hunting parties were masters of hunting techniques. In South Carolina and North Carolina and in other places in the south, frequently the slaves were the best fishermen around, which led to violence with white fishermen because slaves might sometimes bring their catches to market...“

... “One feature of this is that - as David Dalby the British linguist has pointed out, one that has been almost completely ignored by historians in this country, irrespective of color for that matter, is that very frequently, Dalby argues, the Africans found themselves surrounded by white people who were less gifted than themselves. Very often, he says. He called that one of the bitterest aspects of slavery, that you had Africans who had come from areas of Africa in which they had shown a mastery of certain forms of art, areas of Africa where string instruments had been played for a thousand years, Dalby says. And thus, when they got here and they picked up the fiddle, they became some of the most effective fiddlers around. Areas of Africa where you had priests and priestesses performing, caught up in that slave net and brought to North America to be confronted with a European people - in the case of the colonists who came here - who came from the lower rungs of European society, who could not possibly compete with them in artistic and spiritual terms, and yet they found these people lording it over them. And so I think Dalby's point is especially forceful when one bears in mind that out of North America there has been one after another creative bursts in the arts, and almost invariably they come from the black community. And this is not something that occurred in a vacuum. These people came from - the Africans who were brought here - came from cultures millennia in the making, came out of traditions of musicianship that had been cultivated over a period of a thousand years or more.”

Two Myths by Listervelt Middleton

The two myths keeping division alive among the human race: the myth of White Superiority and the myth of Black of African inferiority.

Listervelt Middleton describes the two myths keeping division alive among the human race and independent influence away from Africans at home and abroad. If you’ve seen most of this series, I’m sure you understand how the creation of two myths, two lies, produced much of the problems we face concerning Black-White relations. For, in an effort to create the myth of White superiority, Europeans,…

For The People With Listervelt Middleton

For The People With Listervelt Middleton

It was and is to this moment a grand legend in television broadcasting history. Few can find a program to match it in the power to expand minds.

“For The People” was a new public affairs series for the African-American community when the show made its 1973 debut with Beryl Dakers as host. Later, Listervelt Middleton served as host for a quarter century.

“White women prefer white men to the exclusion of everyone else—and Asian and Hispanic women prefer them even more exclusively. These three types of women only respond well to white men. More significantly, these groups’ reply rates to non-whites is terrible.” (link)

Frances Cress-Welsing: We feel that pressure. And this is where we say, well, racism is going on. But the white response would say, oh nothing is happening. Listervelt Middleton: Now if more African Americans and Africans around the world were to begin to look at white supremacy in the manner that you have outlined, what would it mean in terms of how we respond to white supremacy, as opposed to -quote - that traditional view?   Frances Cress-Welsing: Well that's why we have this chess board here. Because I say that the dynamic, the behavioral dynamic of white supremacy, is analogous to a chess game. We haven't looked at it in that way before. See, we've looked at it as everybody hold hands, ring around the rosy, we're all in this together, and found that wait a minute, that's not what's happening. If we understand the game of chess, where you have a white side of the chess board and you have a black side of the chess board, when people sit down to play chess - because I'm not talking about hating white people. I'm talking about analyzing the behavior but I'm not talking about hating them. I'm not talking about destroying white people. But I am talking about understanding this so-called game of chess. ...

Listervelt Middleton: Let me just interject the Chinese student situation in this and get your reaction to that in terms of this divide and conquer thing. I think that you had mentioned this to me in a conversation - how you saw the Chinese student thing. Frances Cress Welsing: Well for sure I wasn’t in Peking - Beijing - so I don’t really know. But just making an analysis from this point of view of understanding white supremacy, I said that if there were persons who classified themselves as white and they’re looking all over the globe, and they’re looking - 'Oh my God, you know, the major economic activity in the world today is occurring in Asia. Now we’ve got this, you know, Japanese economic colossus and what if they were able to link up with the one billion Chinese people and they started trading together? What will happen to us? The yellow hordes might be getting together. Well can we cause some confusion?' Now that would just be my analysis. I don’t know. You see. But it seems very interesting to me that a short time ago, you see, China opened its doors and then now you have all of this confusion. And you have the Chinese students putting up, you see, a statue that looked to me - I mean white styrofoam - you see it wasn’t a yellow styrofoam. Do you see? So I don’t know. I don’t know who has been talking to the Chinese students, you see, 'Well your leaders are too oppressive so therefore you must, you know, move against them.' These are, you know, the kinds of moves that are made throughout history so I just raised that question: Is that what happened?
